Extra Details:
Interferon-alpha1 is a member of the Type I IFN family best known for their antiviral activity. Most nucleated cells produce one or more Type I IFNs in response to viral infection. Secreted Type I IFN then induces viral protective responses in neighboring non-infected cells. Type I IFNs also enhance virus-induced apoptosis. Other IFN-alpha1 activities include enhancement of dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T cell activity. IFN-alpha1 binds to the IFN-alphaR1 and IFN-alphaR2 heterodimer. Intracellular signaling through the Jak/Stat pathway is best characterized. However, the PI3K, ERK, and p38 kinase pathways are also involved. The antiviral activities of the IFNs have led to their use in treating viral infections. Type I IFNs also appear to have an integral role in several autoimmune diseases.
