Function

Interferon receptor (IFNR) is a cell surface receptor which binds interferon.

  • Interferon α/β receptor binds interferon-α and interferon-β. It is a heterodimer with subunits INFAR1 and INFAR2[1]. For more details see IFNAR and Multiple sclerosis.
  • Interferon γ receptor binds interferon-γ and is a heterodimer with subunits INFGR1 and INFGR2[2].
  • Interferon δ receptor binds interferon-δ[3].

See also: Cytokine receptors.

Relevance

Lack of neuronal interferon α/β receptor causes Lewy Body and Parkinson-like dementia in mice[4]. Interferon α/β receptor deficiency has a role in the pathogenesis of lupus[5].

Disease

Mutations of interferon γ receptor confer susceptibility to infections caused by mycobacteria[6].
