CSF2RB
CSF2RB (also known as cytokine receptor common subunit beta) is a common subunit to the following type I cytokine receptors: *GM-CSF receptor *IL-3 receptor *IL-5 receptor The interleukin-5 receptor is a type I cytokine receptor. It is a heterodimer of the interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit and CSF2RB. The IL-5 receptor (IL-5R) belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family and is a heterodimer composed of two po ....

IL-3 Receptor
The interleukin-3 receptor ( CD123) is a molecule found on cells which helps transmit the signal of interleukin-3, a soluble cytokine important in the immune system. The gene coding for the receptor is located in the pseudoautosomal region of the X and Y chromosomes. The receptor belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family and is a heterodimer with a unique alpha chain paired with the common beta (beta c or CD131) subunit. The gene for the alpha subunit is 40 kilobases long and has 12 exons. Cell types and function The receptor, found on pluripotent progenitor cells, induces tyrosine phosphorylation within the cell and promotes proliferation and differentiation within the hematopoietic cell lines. It can be found on basophils and pDCs as well as some cDCs among peripheral blood mononuclear cells. CD123 is expressed across acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subtypes, including leukemic stem cells. Possible drug target Tagraxofusp, human IL-3 fused to diphtheria toxin, is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Type I Cytokine Receptor
Type I cytokine receptors are transmembrane receptors expressed on the surface of cells that recognize and respond to cytokines with four α-helical strands. These receptors are also known under the name '' hemopoietin receptors'', and share a common amino acid motif ( WSXWS) in the extracellular portion adjacent to the cell membrane. Members of the type I cytokine receptor family comprise different chains, some of which are involved in ligand/cytokine interaction and others that are involved in signal transduction. The common cytokine-binding domain is related to the Fibronectin type III domain. Signal transduction chains The signal transducing chains are often shared between different receptors within this receptor family. * The IL-2 receptor common gamma chain (also known as CD132) is shared between: ** IL-2 receptor ** IL-4 receptor ** IL-7 receptor ** IL-9 receptor ** IL-13 receptor ** IL-15 receptor ** IL-21 receptor * The common beta chain ( CD131 or CDw131 ...

GM-CSF Receptor
The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor also known as CD116 (Cluster of Differentiation 116), is a receptor for granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, which stimulates the production of white blood cells. In contrast to M-CSF and G-CSF which are lineage specific, GM-CSF and its receptor play a role in earlier stages of development. The receptor is primarily located on neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes/ macrophages, it is also on CD34+ progenitor cells ( myeloblasts) and precursors for erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages, but only in the beginning of their development. It is associated with Surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 4. Structure The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor is a heterodimer composed of at least two different subunits; an α chain, and a β chain which is also present in the receptors for IL-3 and IL-5. The α subunit contains a binding site for granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating fact ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
