The protein encoded by this gene is an interleukin 5
specific subunit of a heterodimeric cytokine receptor. The receptor
is comprised of a ligand specific alpha subunit and a signal
transducing beta subunit shared by the receptors for interleukin 3
(IL3), colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF), and interleukin 5
(IL5). The binding of this protein to IL5 depends on the beta
subunit. The beta subunit is activated by the ligand binding, and
is required for the biological activities of IL5. This protein has
been found to interact with syndecan binding protein (syntenin),
which is required for IL5 mediated activation of the transcription
factor SOX4. Six alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding
three distinct isoforms have been reported.1) Romero, R., et al. Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol. 203 (4), 361 (2010) :
