Gene name Interferon lambda 3
Gene symbol IFNL3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
IFN-lambda-3IFN-lambda-4IL-28BIL-28CIL28BIL28C
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.2
Summary This gene encodes a cytokine distantly related to type I interferons and the IL-10 family. This gene, interleukin 28A (IL28A), and interleukin 29 (IL29) are three closely related cytokine genes that form a cytokine gene cluster on a chromosomal region map
