Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - IFNA6 is a type I interferon, which are known for promoting inflammation and immune responses. - It is produced in response to various stimuli, including viral infections, bacterial infections, and cytokines. - It acts on various cell types, including immune cells and non-immune cells. - It is a key regulator of the innate immune response and plays a role in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses. **Pathways and functions:** - IFNA6 is involved in the regulation of innate immune responses. - It promotes the production of type I interferons, which are potent cytokines that activate various immune cells. - It also modulates the production of other cytokines and chemokines, which can influence the inflammatory response. - It plays a role in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses by promoting the recruitment of immune cells to sites of infection and the production of antimicrobial proteins. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in IFNA6 have been linked to the pathogenesis of several human diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. - IFNA6 is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. - Blockade of IFNA6 signaling has been shown to inhibit inflammation and improve disease outcomes in animal models of inflammatory diseases. **Additional notes:** - IFNA6 is a highly conserved protein, with similar sequences found in mammals, birds, and fish. - It is a key regulator of the immune response to viral infections. - It is involved in the regulation of the inflammatory response to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.
