FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a cytoplasmic domain
	two fibronectin type-III domains
	two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains
	a IFNGR1 270-LI-271 dileucine motif, previously thought to be involved in this receptor endocytosis, showed to be unnecessary for receptor endocytosis
	the YDKPH sequence near the C-terminus, required for IFNG-dependent cellular responses through STAT1 binding

mono polymer

monomer

HOMOLOGY

interspecies	homolog to rattus Ifngr (51.30 pc)
	homolog to murine Ifngr1 (53.55 pc)

Homologene

FAMILY

type II cytokine receptor family

CATEGORY

signaling cytokine , receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
text	secreted by natural killer (NK) and T lymphocytes

basic FUNCTION	ligand-binding chain (alpha) of the heterodimeric gamma interferon receptor
	host IFNGR1 signaling controls the magnitude of CD8(+) T cell responses and subsequent memory differentiation under lymphopenic and nonlymphopenic conditions
	IFNGR1 signaling regulates autoimmune, but not the foreign antigen-driven, germinal centers and T helper cell (TFH cell) responses
