Most cancer tissues exhibited weak to moderate cytoplasmic and occasional membranous positivity. Rare cases of cervical and thyroid cancers showed strong positivity. The testis, stomach and pancreatic cancers along with carcinoid and lymphomas were weakly stained or negative.
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]
