Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous positivity was observed in colorectal cancers as well as fractions of gastric and pancreatic cancers. Most remaining cancer cells were generally negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
IFNAR2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
IFNABR
Description
Interferon (alpha, beta and omega) receptor 2 (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. Multiple transcript variants encoding at least two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
