Protein attributes

Sequence length	378 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	This is a receptor for interleukin-3.
Subunit structure	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. The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.
Miscellaneous	The gene encoding for this protein is located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of X and Y chromosomes.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 5 subfamily.
