This gene is a member of the alpha interferon gene cluster on chromosome 9. The encoded cytokine is a member of the type I interferon family that is produced in response to viral infection as a key part of the innate immune response with potent antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory properties. This cytokine, like other type I interferons, binds a plasma membrane receptor made of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 that is ubiquitously expressed, and thus is able to act on virtually all body cells. The encoded protein is effective in reducing the symptoms and duration of the common cold and in treating many types of cancer, including some hematological malignancies and solid tumors. A deficiency of type I interferon in the blood is thought to be a hallmark of severe COVID-19 and may provide a rationale for a combined therapeutic approach. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Interferon alpha-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA2 gene. The broad spectrum of ISGs explains the wide range of biological activity of type I IFNs. In addition to their antiviral activity, type I IFNs also inhibit the proliferation of cells and regulate the activation of the immune system.? Type I IFNs exert potent antitumor activity by several mechanisms such as:? inhibition of the proliferation of cancer cells activation of the immune system which can eliminate tumor cells? increasing the antitumor activity of other antitumoral agents (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapies)? Type I IFNs can have detrimental effects during viral and non-viral infections (bacterial, parasitic, fungal). This is due in part by the ability of type I IFNs to polarize the immune system towards a specific type of response in order to interfere with virus infections.? When improperly regulated, IFN production or IFN-induced signalling can result in autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
