Background Information: GM-CSF R alpha(Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor subunit alpha) is also known as CSF2RA, CD116, GMR-alpha. Low affinity receptor for granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Transduces a signal that results in the proliferation, differentiation, and functional activation of hematopoietic cells. Hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (hPAP) is a rare disorder of pulmonary surfactant accumulation and hypoxemic respiratory failure caused by mutations in CSF2RA (encoding the granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF] receptor α-chain [CD116]), which results in reduced GM-CSF-dependent pulmonary surfactant clearance by alveolar macrophages.

Amino acid sequence: AA Glu 23 - Gly 320

Handling: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.

Usage: For Research Use Only! Not to be used in humans
