Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Interferon alpha-2 (UniProt P01563; also known as IFN-alpha-2, Interferon alpha-A, LeIF A) is encoded by the IFNA2 (also known as IFNA2A, IFNA2B, IFNA2C) gene (Gene ID 3440) in human. Interferons (IFNs) are cytokines whose prouction and release by host cells are induced in the presence of pathogens (e.g. viruses, bacteria, parasites) and tumor cells. Originally named for their ability to interfere with viral replication, IFNs mediate the activate immune cells, such as natural killer cells and macrophages, and increase host defense by up-regulating antigen presentation by boosting the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. More than twenty distinct IFN genes and proteins have been identified and classified into three main types. Type I IFNs (IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-ε, IFN-κ, and IFN-ω) exert their function via binding IFN-α/β receptor (encoded by the IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 gene, respectively). IFN-γ is the only known type II IFN, it is released by type 1 T helper cells and binds IFN-γ receptor (encoded by the IFNGR1 and IFNGR2 gene, respectively). Type III IFNs signal through a receptor complex consisting of IL10R2 (CRF2-4) and IFNLR1 (CRF2-12).
