Interleukin 28A (Interferon, lambda 2) (IL28A) (Active) protein
Description
IFN lambda-1, -2, and -3 (also known as IL29, IL28A and IL28B respectively) are distantly related to the IL10 family and Interferons. All three IFN-lambdas uses a distinct receptor system composed of an IFN-lambdaR1 subunit (also called CRF2-12) and IL10R2 subunit (also called CRF2-14). Signaling through this receptor system induces antiviral defense similar but distinct than the type I Interferons. Alternative Names: IL-28A protein, IL28A protein, IFN lambda 2 protein, IFN gamma-2 protein, Interferon gamma-2 protein, IFN lambda 2, IFN lambda-2, IFN lambda 2, IFN lambda-2 protein
