| Description : |
Type I interferons (IFN alpha, IFN beta) belong to the helical cytokine superfamily, which includes growth hormones, interleukins, several colony-stimulating factors plus other regulatory molecules. All function as regulators of cellular activity by interacting with cell-surface receptors and activating various signaling pathways. IFN beta produces antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. RANKL (TNFSF11) has been shown to induce the production of IFN beta. |
