Ifngr2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable type II interferon receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within defense response to virus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 28. Orthologous to human IFNGR2 (interferon gamma receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ifngr2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
