Background
Interferon gamma receptor 1(IFNGR1) encoded by the IFNGR1 gene, is a single-pass type 1 membrane protein which belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family. IFNGR1 is phosphorylated at Ser/Thr residues after translation. IFNGR1 is a receptor for interferon gamma, two receptors bind one interferon gama dimer. A genetic variation in IFNGR1 is associated with susceptibility to Helicobacter pylori infection. In addition, defects in IFNGR1 are a cause of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease, also known as familial disseminated atypical mycobacterial infection.
