Gene ontology (GO)Gene Ontology (GO) annotations describing the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components associated with a gene.
Interferon alpha-8 (IFN-alpha-8) (Interferon alpha-B) (LeIF B) (Interferon alpha-B2)
Protein function
Produced by macrophages, IFN-alpha have antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase.
