MeSH Heading: Receptors, Interferon
Tree Number(s): D12.776.543.750.705.852.400
Unique ID: D017471
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017471
Scope Note: Specific molecular sites or structures on or in cells with which interferons react or to which they bind in order to modify the function of the cells. Interferons exert their pleiotropic effects through two different receptors. alpha- and beta-interferon crossreact with common receptors, while gamma-interferon initiates its biological effects through its own specific receptor system.
