Ifit1 - interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in response to virus. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-alpha; cellular response to interferon-beta; and response to bacterium. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to several human genes including IFIT1B (interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
