Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 7552
Name Interferon gamma
Synonyms
  1. IFN-gamma
  2. Immune interferon
Gene Name IFNG
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in cytokine activity
Specific Function Produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens. IFN-gamma, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions. It is a potent activator of macrophages, it has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons
