Summary: This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is a common subunit of several interleukin receptor complexes. These receptors are comprised of alpha and beta subunits in addition to this gamma subunit. Signalling through this pathway in important in immune cell differentiation and function. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]

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.
