IFNGR1 interferon gamma receptor 1

Gene ID: 3459, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CD119; IFNGR; IMD27A; IMD27B

Summary

This gene (IFNGR1) encodes the ligand-binding chain (alpha) of the gamma interferon receptor. Human interferon-gamma receptor is a heterodimer of IFNGR1 and IFNGR2. A genetic variation in IFNGR1 is associated with susceptibility to Helicobacter pylori infection. In addition, defects in IFNGR1 are a cause of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease, also known as familial disseminated atypical mycobacterial infection. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
