Gene Information

human ... IFNAR1(3454)

General description

Interferon-α/β receptor α chain precursor (IFNAR1) is part of a heterodimeric receptor and contains an intracellular motif with a unique peptide sequence. The gene encoding it is localized on chromosome 21.

Immunogen

Interferon-alpha/beta receptor alpha chain precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-IFNAR1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Interferon-α/β receptor α chain precursor (IFNAR1) acts as a receptor for the pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon α (IFN-α) and is involved in immune processes during malaria infection. When IFN-α binds to IFNAR1, Janus kinases (JAKs) are activated. They then phosphorylate signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and STAT2. This complex then enters the nucleus and activates antiviral gene transcription. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in IFNAR1 have shown to be risk factors for malaria. IFNAR1 is down regulated in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-linked chronic liver diseases.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
