Description
IFNA16, also known as Interferon alpha-16, is a 189 amino acid protein that is 22 kDa, belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family, produced by macrophages has antiviral activities, and stimulates the production of protein kinase and oligoadenylate synthetase. Current research is being performed on several diseases and disorders including interferon, dengue hemorrhagic fever, immunodeficiency, hemorrhagic fever, autoimmune thyroiditis, measles, influenza, melanoma, tuberculosis, thyroiditis, hepatitis c, hepatitis, leukemia, and papillomatosis. This protein has shown to have interactions with IFNAR1, IFNAR2, IFNGR1, and IFNGR2 in pathways such as cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, regulation of autophagy, toll-like receptor signaling pathway, RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway, cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway, JAK-STAT pathway, all-trans-retinoic acid mediated apoptosis, and hemostasis pathway.
