Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3458
Gene name Interferon gamma
Gene symbol IFNG
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
IFGIFIIMD69
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q15
Summary This gene encodes a soluble cytokine that is a member of the type II interferon class. The encoded protein is secreted by cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. The active protein is a homodimer that binds to the interferon gamma receptor w
