CSF2RA colony stimulating factor 2 receptor subunit alpha

Gene ID: 1438, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GMR; CD116; CSF2R; SMDP4; CDw116; CSF2RX; CSF2RY; GMCSFR; CSF2RAX; CSF2RAY; alphaGMR; GMR-alpha; GMCSFR-alpha; GM-CSF-R-alpha

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric receptor for colony stimulating factor 2, a cytokine which controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The encoded protein is a member of the cytokine family of receptors. This gene is found in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) of the X and Y chromosomes. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, with some of the isoforms being membrane-bound and others being soluble. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
