Description
Il3ra isa pleiotropic cytokine produced primarily by activated T cells or mast cells.Il3ra stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of hemopoietic cellsincluding the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells as well as various lineage-committedcells. The biological effects of Il3ra on the various cell types are mediatedby the binding of Il3ra to specific cell surface receptor complexes. Thefunctional high-affinity IL-3 receptor is a heterodimer consisting of aligand binding α subunit and the β subunit. The α subunit alone binds Il3rawith low affinity
