Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFIT1 gene. [4] [5] [6]
Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is a 17 kDA secreted protein that in humans is encoded by the ISG15 gene. ISG15 is induced by type I interferon (IFN) and serves many functions, acting both as an extracellular cytokine and an intracellular protein modifier. The precise functions are diverse and vary among species but include potentiation of Interferon gamma (IFN-II) production in lymphocytes, ubiquitin-like conjugation to newly-synthesized proteins and negative regulation of the IFN-I response.
2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the OAS1 gene.
Interferon-induced GTP-binding protein Mx1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MX1 gene.
B-cell receptor-associated protein 31 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCAP31 gene.
Gamma-interferon-inducible protein Ifi-16 (Ifi-16) also known as interferon-inducible myeloid differentiation transcriptional activator is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFI16 gene.
Protein kinase, interferon-inducible double stranded RNA dependent activator, also known as interferon-inducible double stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activator A or Protein ACTivator of the interferon-induced protein kinase (PACT) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRKRA gene. PACT heterodimerizes with and activates protein kinase R. PRKRA mutations have been linked to a rare form of dystonia parkinsonism.
Interferon alpha-inducible protein 27 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFI27 gene.
Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 or IFIT2 is a protein found in humans which is encoded by the IFIT2 gene.
Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFITM1 gene. IFITM1 has also recently been designated CD225. This protein has several additional names: fragilis, IFI17 [interferon-induced protein 17], 9-27 [Interferon-inducible protein 9-27] and Leu13.
Interferon alpha-17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA17 gene.
Interferon alpha-inducible protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFI6 gene.
Interferon alpha-14 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA14 gene.
Interferon-induced GTP-binding protein Mx2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MX2 gene.
Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFITM3 gene. It plays a critical role in the immune system's defense against Swine Flu, where heightened levels of IFITM3 keep viral levels low, and the removal of IFITM3 allows the virus to multiply unchecked. This observation has been further advanced by a recent study from Paul Kellam's lab that shows that a single nucleotide polymorphism in the human IFITM3 gene purported to increase influenza susceptibility is overrepresented in people hospitalised with pandemic H1N1. The prevalence of this mutation is thought to be approximately 1/400 in European populations.
Interferon alpha-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA8 gene.
59 kDa 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase-like protein is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the OASL gene.
Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFIT3 gene.
Interferon alpha-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA6 gene.
Interferon alpha-1/13, also known as IFN-alpha-1/13, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA1 and IFNA13 genes.
IFIT proteins are produced in the human body and are supposed to confer immunity against viral infection. These proteins are generally produced during viral infection; Interferon (IFN) treatment; and during pathogen recognition by the immune system during infections.
