Csf2ra Gene Summary [Mouse]

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, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Csf2ra often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • extracellular domain
  • IL-3 receptor alpha chain N-terminal domain
  • cytoplasmic domain
  • FN3
  • ectodomain
  • proline rich domain
