Interferon Alpha 2
Encoded by human INFA2 Gene (IFN Alpha Family) and expressed by macrophages, secreted 188-amino acid 21.6 kD (precursor) Interferon Alpha 2 contains the interferon alpha/beta domain, exhibits interferon-alpha/beta receptor ligand activity, and appears to regulate antiviral defense, cell growth, and immune activation. It stimulates the production of a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase. (from LocusLink, Swiss-Prot, OMIM, and NCI) (NCI Thesaurus)
