Other Information

**Key Characteristics** 1. **Receptor structure**: The CSF2RA gene encodes for the alpha subunit of the CSF2R, which forms a heterodimeric receptor complex with the beta subunit (CSF2RB) upon binding to its ligand, GM-CSF. 2. **Immune cell regulation**: CSF2R is expressed on various immune cells, including myeloid dendritic cells, classical monocytes, and microglial cells, and plays a crucial role in regulating their proliferation, differentiation, and survival. 3. **Surfactant metabolism**: Mutations in the CSF2RA gene have been associated with surfactant metabolism disorders, such as SMDP4, which highlights the importance of CSF2R in regulating surfactant production and function. 4. **Disease association**: CSF2RA mutations have also been linked to immune system dysregulation and disease, including inflammatory conditions and autoimmune disorders. **Pathways and Functions** 1. **Cytokine-mediated signaling pathway**: CSF2R is a key component of the GM-CSF signaling pathway, which regulates the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of immune cells. 2. **Cytokine binding**: CSF2R binds to its ligand, GM-CSF, triggering a signaling cascade that regulates immune cell function. 3. **Cytokine receptor activity**: CSF2R exhibits receptor activity, allowing it to regulate the activity of downstream signaling molecules. 4. **Cytokine signaling in immune system**: CSF2R plays a crucial role in regulating immune cell function, including proliferation, differentiation, and survival, in response to GM-CSF stimulation. 5. **Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor signaling pathway**: CSF2R is essential for regulating the GM-CSF signaling pathway, which is critical for the development and function of myeloid cells. **Clinical Significance** 1. **Surfactant metabolism disorders**: Mutations in the CSF2RA gene have been associated with surfactant metabolism disorders, such as SMDP4, highlighting the importance of CSF2R in regulating surfactant production and function. 2. **Immune system dysregulation**: CSF2RA mutations have been linked to immune system dysregulation and disease, including inflammatory conditions and autoimmune disorders. 3. **Cancer therapy**: CSF2R may serve as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment, as it is overexpressed on the surface of certain cancer cells, including myeloid cells. 4. **Vaccine development**: CSF2R may also play a role in vaccine development, as it is involved in the regulation of immune cell function and response to vaccine antigens. In conclusion, the CSF2RA gene encodes for a critical component of the GM-CSF receptor complex, which plays a pivotal role in regulating immune cell function and regulating surfactant metabolism. Mutations in the CSF2RA gene have been associated with surfactant metabolism disorders and immune system dysregulation, highlighting the importance of this gene in human health and disease.
