Target intelligence / Profile preview

Interferon alpha/beta receptor subunit 2 (IFNAR2)

Target
IFNAR2
Molecular classification
Receptor, Type I cytokine receptor, Type II helical cytokine receptors, Transmembrane protein
01

Overview

IFNAR2 is a type I transmembrane protein and a subunit of the heterodimeric receptor for type I interferons. It plays a crucial role in initiating cellular responses to viral infections and modulating the immune system. Upon binding type I interferons, IFNAR2, along with IFNAR1, activates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, leading to the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs).
