Revision as of 14:24, 10 February 2016 by Michal Harel (talk | contribs)


Interferon receptor (IFNR) is a cell surface receptor which binds interferon.

  • Interferon α/β receptor binds interferon-α and interferon-β. It is a heterodimer with subunits INFAR1 and INFAR2. For more details see IFNAR
  • Interferon γ receptor binds interferon-γ and is a heterodimer with subunits INFGR1 and INFGR2.
  • Interferon δ receptor binds interferon-δ.

See also Insulin receptor (Hebrew).
