PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains

IFNAR2 intracellular domain (IFNaR2-ICD) can mediate gene transcription in a STAT2 dependent manner, and liberation of the IFNAR2-ICD by regulated proteolysis could trigger a novel mechanism for moving the transcription factor STAT2 to the nucleus

FAMILY

cytokin receptor family II

CATEGORY

receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endosome
text	shortly after IFN stimulation, a small amount of IFNAR2 were found in the endosomal compartment

basic FUNCTION	subunit of the interferon receptor, can be proteolytically cleaved in response to interferon-alpha and other activators of protein kinase C
	trafficking of the IFN receptor (IFNAR1 and IFNAR2) through endosomes may potentially regulate signaling pathways
	may play an important role in determining IFN response and clinical phenotypes of HBV infection
