Receptor, Interferon alpha-beta MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Receptor, Interferon alpha-beta
Tree Number(s)
D12.776.543.750.705.852.400.500
Unique ID
D053633
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053633
Scope Note
A ubiquitously expressed heterodimeric receptor that is specific for both INTERFERON-ALPHA and INTERFERON-BETA. It is composed of two subunits referred to as IFNAR1 and IFNAR2. The IFNAR2 subunit is believed to serve as the ligand-binding chain; however both chains are required for signal transduction. The interferon alpha-beta receptor signals through the action of JANUS KINASES such as the TYK2 KINASE.
