Summary
IL3RA (interleukin 3 receptor subunit alpha, HGNC:6012) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp22.33 and Yp11.2, encoding Interleukin-3 receptor subunit alpha (P26951). Cell surface receptor for IL3 expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells, monocytes and B-lymphocytes that controls the production and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into lineage-restricted cells.
The protein encoded by this gene is an interleukin 3 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 IL3 depends on the beta subunit. The beta subunit is activated by the ligand binding, and is required for the biological activities of IL3. This gene and the gene encoding the colony stimulating factor 2 receptor alpha chain (CSF2RA) form a cytokine receptor gene cluster in a X-Y pseudoautosomal region on chromosomes X or Y. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found.

Interleukin-3 receptor subunit alpha — P26951 (reviewed: P26951)
All UniProt accessions (2): P26951, J3JS34
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Cell surface receptor for IL3 expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells, monocytes and B-lymphocytes that controls the production and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into lineage-restricted cells. Ligand stimulation rapidly induces hetrodimerization with IL3RB, phosphorylation and enzyme activity of effector proteins such as JAK2 and PI3K that play a role in signaling cell proliferation and differentiation. Activation of JAK2 leads to STAT5-mediated transcriptional program.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with IL3. Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The beta subunit is common to the IL3, IL5 and GM-CSF receptors.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated by RNFT2 in response to IL3. Ubiquitination leads ligand-induced degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitinated by RNF128 via ‘Lys-27’-linked polyubiquitination, facilitating its degradation through the lysosomal pathway.
Domain organisation. The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding. The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.
Miscellaneous. The gene coding for this protein is located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of X and Y chromosomes.
Similarity. Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 5 subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 36 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
