Background

IL-3 receptor chain alpha (IL‑3Ra) also known as CD123, is a member of the type 1 cytokine receptor family of proteins expressed mainly by activated T cells or mast cells (1-3). IL-3Ra is a 60-70 kDa receptor component that binds IL-3 with low affinity and forms one-half of the IL-3 receptor complex. IL-3Ra associates with the 130-140 kDa non-ligand binding IL-3Rb for high-affinity binding to IL-3 to form the heterodimeric receptor complex (4). IL-3Ra consists of an extracellular domain (ECD) with an N-terminal Ig-like C2-type domain and a cytokine-binding domain containing two fibronectin type-III domains with a WSXWS motif, a helical transmembrane segment and a cytoplasmic domain (3). Within the mature ECD, cynomolgus IL-3Ra shares 85% amino acid sequence identity with human IL-3Ra. An isoform lacking the N-terminal domain of ECD has been identified in mouse and human (5, 6). IL‑3 stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of hemopoietic cells including the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells as well as various lineage‑committed cells (7). IL-3Ra is expressed on multiple cell types, including endothelial cells, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils plus mast cells, and plasmacytoid CD4+ T cells (8). IL-3Ra is over-expressed by Acute myeloid leukemia and this is associated with a poor prognosis in AML (9).
