Interferon beta is type I interferon which mainly helps to stimulate anti-viral response. Interferon beta signals through the heterodimeric IFN-alpha\/beta Receptor and activates the JAK\/STAT signaling pathway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nInterferon beta also known as IFN-beta or beta interferon is a type I interferon with a mass of approximately 20 kDa. It originates primarily from fibroblasts and plays an essential role in the immune response. This protein targets and binds to specific cell surface receptors initiating various antiviral states within cells. This action assists in slowing down viral replication and spread. IFN-beta's expression increases in response to viral infections making it an important component in the body's first line of defense against pathogens.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nInterferon beta functions as an important mediator of immune functions regulating the activity of natural killer cells and macrophages. It also boosts antigen presentation to T cells. Interferon beta belongs to the larger family of interferons which includes IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma each having distinct effects but working together to mount an effective immune response. Though it does not form part of a complex it plays a critical standalone role in immune signaling pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nInterferon beta associates strongly with the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Upon activation it interacts with receptors to phosphorylate STAT proteins mainly STAT1 and STAT2 which then dimerize and translocate to the nucleus to trigger gene expression. Another important pathway is the antiviral response where interferon beta modulates the expression of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes. These pathways intricately involve other proteins like IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma which work synergistically to establish an effective antiviral environment.\u003cbr\u003e\nInterferon beta shows significant implications in multiple sclerosis and hepatitis C infection. It is widely used as a therapeutic agent in managing multiple sclerosis by modulating the immune response to reduce inflammation and slow disease progression. Similarly its role in antiviral defense makes it relevant to hepatitis C infection management. In these contexts IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma are also important as they share similar antiviral and immunomodulatory functions that can complement IFN-beta's actions enhancing the treatment's efficacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843557150889,"sku":"ab278127","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab278127","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
