UniProtKB description:  Cell surface receptor that plays a role in immune response and controls the production and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into lineage-restricted cells. Acts by forming an heterodimeric receptor through interaction with different partners such as IL3RA, IL5RA or CSF2RA (PubMed:1495999). In turn, participates in various signaling pathways including interleukin-3, interleukin-5 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor/CSF2 pathways. In unstimulated conditions, interacts constitutively with JAK1 and ligand binding leads to JAK1 stimulation and subsequent activation of the JAK-STAT pathway (PubMed:9516124).
