Interferon alpha, beta. Includes also interferon omega and tau. Different from interferon gamma family. Type I interferons(alpha, beta) belong to the larger helical cytokine superfamily, which includes growth hormones, interleukins, several colony-stimulating factors and several other regulatory molecules. All function as regulators of cellular activty by interacting with cell-surface receptors and activating various signalling pathways. Interferons produce antiviral and antiproliferative responses in cells. Receptor specificity determines function of the various members of the family.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
