Ifih1 - interferon induced with helicase C domain 1

Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to exogenous dsRNA; defense response to other organism; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. Orthologous to human IFIH1 (interferon induced with helicase C domain 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
