Members of this family have conserved amino acid sequence motifs in the extracellular domain (4 positionally conserved cysteine residues and a conserved WSXWS. The cytoplasmic domains vary but in the membrane proximal domain one can observe conserved elements: Homology box 1 (proline rich motif) and Homology box 2 (less well defined, present in some family members not others).
Receptors consist of a cytokine-specific subunit (alpha chain) and a signal-transducing subunit (beta chain) required for high affinity binding of the cytokine. This signaling subunit is usually not specific for the cytokine.
Members of this receptor family include the receptors for CNTF, Epo, G-CSF,
