About IFNA8

Summary

Predicted to enable cytokine activity and type I interferon receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including B cell activation; lymphocyte activation involved in immune response; and positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. 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 IFNA1 (interferon alpha 1); IFNA10 (interferon alpha 10); and IFNA14 (interferon alpha 14). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
