Receptors, Interferon

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Specific molecular sites or structures on or in cells with which interferons react or to which they bind in order to modify the function of the cells. Interferons exert their pleiotropic effects through two different receptors. alpha- and beta-interferon crossreact with common receptors, while gamma-interferon initiates its biological effects through its own specific receptor system.  coord IM with specific interferon (IM); DF: RECEPT INTERFERON   
Examples Receptor, Interferon alpha-beta 		Other names Interferon Receptors; Receptor, Interferon; Interferon Receptor
