Human Interferon omega-1 Protein

Recombinant Human Interferon omega-1 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-terminus.It contains Leu22-Ser195. Human Interferon omega-1, a type I IFN, also known as IFN-omega1 or IFNW1, it contains a potential N-glycosylation site like human IFN-beta. IFN-omega1 binds to the interferon alpha/beta receptor but not to the interferon gamma receptor. All IFN-omega genes analysed to date are devoid of introns. IFN-omega1 has been shown to be well-tolerated in man and to induce reductions of hepatitis C virus RNA levels in a series of human clinical trials.
