Anti-Interleukin-3, -5 (IL-3, IL-5) GM-CSF Receptor beta-common

The common beta-chain (beta-c) of the granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3) and IL-5 receptors is the major signaling subunit of these receptors coupling ligand binding to multiple biological activities (1-3). Tyrosine phosphorylation of cytokine receptor common beta-chain is one of the first events in GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5 activation of their receptors and in the initiation of the signaling cascade (4). Serine phosphorylation within the 14-3-3 binding sequence of the common beta-chain is also involved in GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5 receptor-specific functions (5,6).
