Description

interferon beta 1, fibroblast

Gene Summary

Enables cytokine activity and type I interferon receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of Lewy body formation; response to virus; and type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; defense response to bacterium; and negative regulation of osteoclast differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in embryo and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in COVID-19; cerebral infarction; multiple sclerosis; and retinoblastoma. Orthologous to human IFNB1 (interferon beta 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
