Description: Human recombinant Interferon-Omega 1 produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 172 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 19.9kDa. IFN-Omega 1 is a type I interferon, that can be induced by virus-infected leukocytes. Type I interferon family members, which include IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, and IFN-omega, signal through IFNAR-1/IFNAR-2 receptor complex, and wield antiviral and antiproliferative activities. IFNW1 exhibits about 75% sequence homology with IFN-a, and contains 2 conserved disulfide bonds, which are essential for full biological activity.
