Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.	This gene is a member of the alpha interferon gene cluster on the short arm of chromosome 9. Interferons are cytokines produced in response to viral infection that mediate the immune response and interfere with viral replication. The encoded protein is a

Protein

UniProt ID

P01568

Protein name

Interferon alpha-21 (IFN-alpha-21) (Interferon alpha-F) (LeIF F)

Protein function

Produced by macrophages, IFN-alpha have antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase.
