Interferon alpha-17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA17 gene. [3] [4]
Interferons are a group of signaling proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several viruses. In a typical scenario, a virus-infected cell will release interferons causing nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses.
Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is a 17 kDA secreted protein that in humans is encoded by the ISG15 gene. ISG15 is induced by type I interferon (IFN) and serves many functions, acting both as an extracellular cytokine and an intracellular protein modifier. The precise functions are diverse and vary among species but include potentiation of Interferon gamma (IFN-II) production in lymphocytes, ubiquitin-like conjugation to newly-synthesized proteins and negative regulation of the IFN-I response.
Interferon regulatory factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRF1 gene.
Interferon alpha-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA1 gene.
Interferon beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNB1 gene. The natural and recombinant protein forms have antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer properties.
Interferon-induced GTP-binding protein Mx1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MX1 gene.
Interferon alfa-2b is an antiviral or antineoplastic drug. It is a recombinant form of the protein Interferon alpha-2 that was originally sequenced and produced recombinantly in E. coli in the laboratory of Charles Weissmann at the University of Zurich, in 1980. It was developed at Biogen, and ultimately marketed by Schering-Plough under the trade name Intron-A. It was also produced in 1986 in recombinant human form, in the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology of Havana, Cuba, under the name Heberon Alfa R.
Interferon regulatory factor 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRF5 gene. The IRF family is a group of transcription factors that are involved in signaling for virus responses in mammals along with regulation of certain cellular functions.
Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) also known as interferon consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRF8 gene. IRF8 is a transcription factor that plays critical roles in the regulation of lineage commitment and in myeloid cell maturation including the decision for a common myeloid progenitor (CMP) to differentiate into a monocyte precursor cell.
Interferon alpha-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA4 gene.
Interferon alpha-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA7 gene.
Interferon alpha-14 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA14 gene.
Interferon omega-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNW1 gene.
Interferon alpha-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA8 gene.
Interferon alpha-10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA10 gene.
Interferon alpha-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA5 gene.
Interferon alpha-21 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA21 gene.
Interferon-alpha/beta receptor alpha chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNAR1 gene.
Interferon alpha-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA6 gene.
Interferon alpha-1/13, also known as IFN-alpha-1/13, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA1 and IFNA13 genes.
