Summary
Predicted to enable cytokine receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cell surface receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT; granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of leukocyte proliferation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor complex. Is expressed in early conceptus; female reproductive system; and liver. Used to study pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Orthologous to human CSF2RA (colony stimulating factor 2 receptor subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

  2. These data show that loss of membrane GM-CSFRalpha following GM-CSF exposure does not preclude sustained GM-CSF/GM-CSFRalpha signaling and that this receptor plays a key role in ligand clearance. Hence neutrophilic activation via GM-CSFR may play an important role in neutrophilic lung inflammation even in the absence of high GM-CSF levels or GM-CSFRalpha expression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
