Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Associates with IFNAR1 to form the type I interferon receptor. Receptor for interferons alpha and beta. Involved in IFN-mediated STAT1, STAT2 and STAT3 activation. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are directly involved in signal transduction due to their association with the TYR kinase, JAK1. Isoform 3 is a potent inhibitor of type I IFN receptor activity. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11682488, ECO:0000269PubMed:12105218, ECO:0000269PubMed:7665574, ECO:0000269PubMed:7759950, ECO:0000269PubMed:8181059}.

Subcellular Localization

Isoform 1: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.Isoform 2: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.Isoform 3: Secreted.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Isoform 3 is detected in the urine (at protein level). Expressed in blood cells. Expressed in lymphoblastoid and fibrosarcoma cell lines. {ECO:0000269PubMed:7588638, ECO:0000269PubMed:7759950, ECO:0000269PubMed:8181059}.
