About Ifna6

Summary

Predicted to enable cytokine activity and type I interferon receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within defense response to virus. Located in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever; common cold; hepatitis B; liver disease (multiple); and sarcoidosis. Orthologous to several human genes including IFNA10 (interferon alpha 10); IFNA13 (interferon alpha 13); and IFNA14 (interferon alpha 14). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
