UniProt functional annotation for P48551

UniProt codes: P48551, Q15467.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Associates with IFNAR1 to form the plasma membrane receptor in the type I interferon signaling pathway (PubMed:26424569, PubMed:28165510, PubMed:32972995). Directly involved in signal transduction through its association with the TYR kinase JAK1 (PubMed:8181059, PubMed:7665574, PubMed:7759950). Involved in interferon-mediated STAT1, STAT2 and STAT3 activation (PubMed:26424569, PubMed:32972995). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10049744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11682488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12105218, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26424569, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28165510, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32972995, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7759950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8181059}.
 
Function: [Isoform 3]: Potent inhibitor of type I IFN receptor activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7759950}.
 
Subunit: Heterodimer with IFNAR1 (PubMed:8181059, PubMed:7665574, PubMed:10049744, PubMed:24075985, PubMed:21854986). Interacts with the transcriptional factors STAT1 and STAT2 (PubMed:9121453, PubMed:28165510). Interacts with JAK1 (PubMed:8181059, PubMed:7759950). Interacts with USP18; indirectly via STAT2, it negatively regulates the assembly of the ternary interferon-IFNAR1-IFNAR2 complex and therefore type I interferon signaling (PubMed:28165510). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10049744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17001036, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20496919, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21854986, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24075985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28165510, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7759950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8181059, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9121453}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 1]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 2]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7759950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8181059}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 3]: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7759950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8181059}.
Tissue specificity: 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7588638, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7759950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8181059}.
Ptm: Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues upon interferon binding. Phosphorylation at Tyr-337 or Tyr-512 are sufficient to mediate interferon dependent activation of STAT1, STAT2 and STAT3 leading to antiproliferative effects on many different cell types. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11682488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12105218, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7759950}.
Ptm: Glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8181059}.
Polymorphism: Genetic variations in IFNAR2 influence susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection [MIM:610424].
Disease: Immunodeficiency 45 (IMD45) [MIM:616669]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased susceptibility to viral infection due to impaired antiviral immunity, resulting in infection- associated encephalopathy. Affected individuals are at risk for developing fatal encephalitis after routine measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccination. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26424569}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 3]: Soluble receptor. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family. {ECO:0000305}.
