Interferon gamma receptor 1 (IFNGR1)

Associates with IFNGR2 to form a receptor for the cytokine interferon gamma (IFNG) (PubMed:7615558, PubMed:2971451, PubMed:7617032, PubMed:10986460). Ligand binding stimulates activation of this JAK/STAT signaling pathway (PubMed:7673114).

Plays an important role in the IFN-gamma pathway that is required for the cellular response to infectious agents (PubMed:20015550). .
