The beta chain of the interleukin-3 receptor functionally associates with the erythropoietin receptor. [PDF]
Blood, 1997 Interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptors share a common beta chain (beta(c)), and both cytokines enhance erythropoietin (Epo)-dependent in vitro erythropoiesis by primary hematopoietic progenitors and factor-dependent cells.
