interferon induced transmembrane protein 3

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an interferon-induced membrane protein that helps confer immunity to influenza A H1N1 virus, West Nile virus, and dengue virus. Two transcript variants, only one of them protein-coding, have been found for this gene. Another variant encoding an N-terminally truncated isoform has been reported, but the full-length nature of this variant has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

Staining summary

Strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity, in some cases with a granular pattern, was observed in chief cells of stomach, in renal glomeruli, in parathyroid gland, in fallopian tube and in epidydimis. Stromal cells were also strongly positivity. Weak positivity was found in some hepatocytes. Remaining normal tissues were in general negative.
