Entrez Gene summary for IFNL3 Gene:
This gene encodes a cytokine distantly related to type I interferons and the IL-10 family. This gene, interleukin 28A(IL28A), and interleukin 29 (IL29) are three closely related cytokine genes that form a cytokine gene cluster on achromosomal region mapped to 19q13. Expression of the cytokines encoded by the three genes can be induced by viralinfection. All three cytokines have been shown to interact with a heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor thatconsists of interleukin 10 receptor, beta (IL10RB) and interleukin 28 receptor, alpha (IL28RA). (provided by RefSeq,Jul 2008)
GeneCards Summary for IFNL3 Gene: 
IFNL3 (interferon, lambda 3) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with IFNL3 include hepatitis c virus infection, response to therapy of, and tropical spastic paraparesis, and among its related super-pathways are NOD-like Receptor Signaling Pathways and STAT3 Pathway. GO annotations related to this gene include cytokine activity. An important paralog of this gene is IFNL2.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IFNL3_HUMAN, Q8IZI9Function: Cytokine with immunomodulatory activity. Up-regulates MHC class I antigen expression. Displays potentantiviral activity. Also displays antitumor activity. Ligand for the heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor composedof IL10RB and IFNLR1. The ligand/receptor complex seems to signal through the Jak-STAT pathway. Seems not to beessential for early virus-activated host defense in vaginal infection, but plays an important role in Toll-likereceptor (TLR)-induced antiviral defense. Plays a significant role in the antiviral immune defense in the intestinalepithelium
