UniProt functional annotation for P26954

UniProt code: P26954.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: In mouse, there are two classes of high-affinity IL3 receptors. One contains this IL3-specific beta subunit and the other contains the beta subunit also shared by high-affinity IL5 and GM-CSF receptors.
 
Subunit: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Domain: The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding.
Domain: The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.
Similarity: Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 4 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
