Background
The protein encoded by this gene is produced by macrophages and has antiviral activity. This gene is intronless and the encoded protein is secreted. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011],function:Produced by macrophages, IFN-alpha have antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase.,miscellaneous:Interferons alpha-1 and alpha-13 have identical protein sequences.,polymorphism:Two forms exist; alpha-1a (shown here) and alpha-1b.,similarity:Belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family.,
