Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Mus musculus(house mouse) |
Genome | |
Summary | This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is a common subunit of several interleukin receptor complexes. These receptors are comprised of alpha and beta subunits in addition to this gamma subunit. Signalling through this pathway in important in immune cell differentiation and function. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]. |
