Summary: Enables cytokine activity. Involved in regulation of defense response to virus by host and type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within defense response to other organism and lymphocyte activation involved in immune response. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever; common cold; hepatitis B; liver disease (multiple); and sarcoidosis. Orthologous to several human genes including IFNA4 (interferon alpha 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
