Function
May play a role in the regulation of immune cell function. Cytokine that imparts cellular protection against viral infection in a species-specific manner. Activates the interferon-stimulated response element signaling pathway. It is able to directly modulate cytokine release from monocytes and dendritic cells. Binds heparin.
Tissue Specificity Expressed in keratinocytes, monocytes and in resting dendritic cells.
KEGG Pathway
Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction (hsa04060 )
RIG-I-like receptor sig.ling pathway (hsa04622 )
JAK-STAT sig.ling pathway (hsa04630 )
