Class I cytokine receptor complexes have traditionally been divided into families based on the use of common signal transducing chains within a receptor complex [3]. However, more recently researchers have placed the individual receptor chains into five groups. This is based on sequence and structural...
This chapter discusses mechanistic aspects of receptor activation at the cellular surface for a selection of class I cytokine receptors, highlighting in particular the heterodimeric receptors like interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R) within the framework of this family. Cytokines are small, soluble signaling...

Novel receptor polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and related compositions and methods are disclosed. The polypeptides comprise an extracellular domain of a cell-surface receptor that is expressed in kidneys, pancreas, prostate, adrenal cortex and nervous tissue. The polypeptides may ...
