General annotation (Comments)

Function	Produced by macrophages, IFN-alpha have antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase.
Subcellular location	Secreted.
Polymorphism	Three forms exist; alpha-2a (shown here), alpha-2b and alpha-2c.
Pharmaceutical use	Available under the names Roferon-A (Roche) or Intron-A (Schering-Plough). Used as an anticancer drug for its antiproliferative activity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family.
