Preferred Label : IFNA2 wt Allele;
NCIt synonyms : Interferon, Alpha 2 wt Allele; IFNA; IFNA2B; Interferon, Alpha-2 Gene; INFA2; RP11-354P17.2; IFN-AlphaA;
NCIt definition : Human IFNA2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9p22 and is approximately
1 kb in length. This allele, which encodes interferon alpha-2 protein, plays a role
in the regulation of the immune cell response to cytokines and viruses.;
NCIt note : The interferon genes are found in a cluster with telomeric 3-prime ends and exhibit
the order: pter-IFNB- (IFNW1, IFNA21)- IFNWP15- IFNA4- IFNW9- IFNA7- IFNA10- FNWP18-
IFNAP16- IFNA17- IFNA14- (IFNA22, IFNA5, IFNAP20, IFNA6, IFNA13, IFNA2)- (IFNA8, IFNW2,
IFNWP19, IFNA1)- MTAP-cen.;
