Description
Predicted to enable cytokine receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including astrocyte activation; negative regulation of amyloid-beta clearance; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within defense response to virus. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; endoplasmic reticulum; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cerebral cortex; cranium; female reproductive system; and liver. Used to study osteoporosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; hepatitis B; immunodeficiency 27A; immunodeficiency 27B; and tuberculosis. Orthologous to human IFNGR1 (interferon gamma receptor 1).
