| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables type I interferon binding activity and type I interferon receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to interferon-alpha; defense response to symbiont; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within T cell activation; positive regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatitis C and primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human IFNAR1 (interferon alpha and beta receptor subunit 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit increased susceptibility to viral infection, elevated levels of myeloid lineage cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow, and reduced immune response to immunostimulatory DNA.
