Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cytokine receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor signaling pathway; positive regulation of leukocyte proliferation; and receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. 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).
