GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
IFNAR1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
IFNAR, IFRC
Description
Interferon (alpha, beta and omega) receptor 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane protein that forms one of the two chains of a receptor for interferons alpha and beta. Binding and activation of the receptor stimulates Janus protein kinases, which in turn phosphorylate several proteins, including STAT1 and STAT2. The encoded protein also functions as an antiviral factor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
