CSF3R


Description

The CSF3R gene encodes for the colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R), a protein that plays a crucial role in the development, differentiation, and survival of granulocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for the immune system. CSF3R binds to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), triggering a cascade of intracellular signaling events that promote granulocyte proliferation, maturation, and activation. This complex process ensures a balanced and effective immune response to infections and other threats.
