Function
Type I interferon required for maintaining basal levels of IFN-regulated genes, including 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase, IRF7 and ISG15, in the female reproductive tract. Directly mediates protection against viral, including HSV-2, and bacterial, including Chlamydia muridarum, genital infections.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed at very high levels in uterus and, at much lower levels, in ovary and cervix. Very low levels, if any, in other organs. In the endometrium, expressed in the luminal and glandular epithelial cells (at protein level)
