UniProt functional annotation for P26951

UniProt code: P26951.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: This is a receptor for interleukin-3.
 
Subunit: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The beta subunit is common to the IL3, IL5 and GM-CSF receptors.
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.
Miscellaneous: The gene coding for this protein is located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of X and Y chromosomes.
Similarity: Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 5 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAA08393.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
