Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 3.5Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease IFNG_HUMAN In Caucasians, genetic variation in IFNG is associated with the risk of aplastic anemia (AA) [MIM:609135. AA is a rare disease in which the reduction of the circulating blood cells results from damage to the stem cell pool in bone marrow. In most patients, the stem cell lesion is caused by an autoimmune attack. T-lymphocytes, activated by an endogenous or exogenous, and most often unknown antigenic stimulus, secrete cytokines, including IFN-gamma, which would in turn be able to suppress hematopoiesis. Function IFNG_HUMAN Produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens. IFN-gamma, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions. It is a potent activator of macrophages, it has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons.
