Other Information

Description

**Key characteristics:** * Type: Pseudogene * Ensembl ID: ENSG00000226393 * Protein: Interferon alpha 20 * Pathway/Ontology: Significantly expressed cells: astrocyte, fibroblast, oligodendrocyte, neuron, plasma cell, stromal cell, oligodendrocyte precursor cell, glutamatergic neuron, endothelial cell of vascular tree, mesenchymal stem cell **Pathways and functions:** * Interferon alpha 20 is a protein that is produced by cells in the body and acts on other cells to help them fight infection. * It is produced by a variety of cell types, including astrocytes, fibroblasts, oligodendrocytes, neurons, plasma cells, stromal cells, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, glutamatergic neurons, and endothelial cells of the vascular tree. * It is a key immune response molecule that helps to protect the body from infection. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the IFNA20P gene have been linked to an increased risk of certain diseases, including multiple sclerosis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease. * In some cases, IFNA20P mutations can also cause cancer. * Researchers are currently studying IFNA20P and other genes that are linked to immune disorders in an effort to develop new treatments for these diseases.
