disease:Defects in IFNAR2 are associated with susceptibility to hepatitis B virus infection (HBV infection) [MIM:610424]. Approximately one third of all cases of cirrhosis and half of all cases of hepatocellular carcinoma can be attributed to chronic HBV infection. HBV infection may result in subclinical or asymptomatic infection, acute self-limited hepatitis, or fulminant hepatitis requiring liver transplantation.,function:Receptor for interferons alpha and beta. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are directly involved in signal transduction due to their interaction with the TYR kinase, JAK1. Isoform 1 also interacts with the transcriptional factors, STAT1 and STAT2. Both forms are potent inhibitors of type I IFN activity.,PTM:Upon binding, it is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues.,similarity:Belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family.,
[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .; [Isoform 2]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .; [Isoform 3]: Secreted .
Isoform 3 is detected in the urine (at protein level) (PubMed:8181059, PubMed:7759950). Expressed in blood cells. Expressed in lymphoblastoid and fibrosarcoma cell lines.
