IFNA10
IFNA10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA10 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the alpha interferon family. Alpha interferons are proteins that are produced and released by host cells in response to the presence of viruses. They are called interferons because they "interfere" with the virus's ability to spread from cell to cell.
Function[edit | edit source]
Interferons are proteins that are part of the immune response. They are produced by cells in response to viral infection, and they help to stimulate the immune system to fight off the virus. The IFNA10 gene encodes a type of interferon known as alpha interferon. Alpha interferons are particularly important in the immune response to viral infections.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
The IFNA10 gene has been studied in the context of several diseases. It has been suggested that variations in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and melanoma. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to understand the role of the IFNA10 gene in disease.
