IFN lambda2 (IL-28A)

IFN lambda-1, -2, and -3 (also known as IL-29, IL-28A and IL-28B respectively) are distantly related to the IL-10 family and Interferons. All three IFN-lambdas uses a distinct receptor system composed of an IFN-lambdaR1 subunit (also called CRF2-12) and IL-10R2 subunit (also called CRF2-14) . Signaling through this receptor system induces antiviral defense similar but distinct than the type I Interferons. Recombinant murine IFN-lambda2 is a 19.8 kDa protein containing 175 amino acid residues.
