Receptors, Interferon

Interferonreceptorer

Svensk definition

Specifika molekylstrukturer på eller i celler, som interferoner reagerar med eller binder till så att cellens funktioner modifieras. Interferoner utövar sina pleiotropa effekter via två olika receptorer. Alfa- och beta-interferon korsreagerar med allmänna receptorer, medan gamma-interferon sätter igång sina biologiska effekter genom sitt eget, specifika receptorsystem.

Engelsk definition

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.
