Structure/Function

Interferon is cytokines which exert major biologic effects (antiviral, antiproliferative, immunomodulatory). IFN-gamma activates a p91 subunit (Stat1 alpha) of letent ISGF3, inclucing IFN-gamma-responsive genes through a distinct DNA element, GAS (Gamma-interferon Activation Site).
