Combining with a type III interferon to initiate a change in cell activity. Type III interferons are members of the interferon-lambda gene family. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a cytokine, any of a group of proteins that function to control the survival, growth and differentiation of tissues and cells, and which have autocrine and paracrine activity. Combining with a cytokine to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with a type I interferon to initiate a change in cell activity. Type I interferons include the interferon-alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, zeta, kappa, tau, and omega gene families. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an interferon, a protein produced by the immune systems of many animals in response to a challenge by a foreign agent. Combining with interferon-gamma to initiate a change in cell activity. Interferon-gamma is also known as type II interferon. Combining with an interferon to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity, and spanning to the membrane of either the cell or an organelle.
