Summary: Enables cytokine activity and type I interferon receptor binding activity. Involved in B cell proliferation; cellular response to virus; and type I interferon signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to organic cyclic compound; defense response to other organism; and negative regulation of osteoclast differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in embryo and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in COVID-19. Orthologous to human IFNB1 (interferon beta 1).
