Also known as IFN-alphaB, interferon alpha 8
Interferon alpha-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA8 gene.
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 act upstream of or within defense response to virus. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space.
