Ifit2 - interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in response to virus. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-alpha. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human IFIT2 (interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
