Abstract excerpt
The high-affinity and functional granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (GMR) is composed of two distinct subunits, alpha and beta; and the cytoplasmic domain of the beta subunit is essential to transduce growth-promoting signals. In contrast to the beta subunit, the role of the alpha subunit is not well characterized. We examined the requirement of the cytoplasmic domain of the alpha subunit...
