Gene Summary

Predicted to enable chloramphenicol O-acetyltransferase activity; cytokine activity; and type I interferon receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dsDNA; cellular response to exogenous dsRNA; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Used to study proteinuria and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in COVID-19; cerebral infarction; multiple sclerosis; and retinoblastoma. Orthologous to human IFNB1 (interferon beta 1).
