CSF3R colony stimulating factor 3 receptor

Gene ID: 1441, updated on 1-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SCN7; CD114; GCSFR

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is the receptor for colony stimulating factor 3, a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes. The encoded protein, which is a member of the family of cytokine receptors, may also function in some cell surface adhesion or recognition processes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. Mutations in this gene are a cause of Kostmann syndrome, also known as severe congenital neutropenia. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
