| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Involved in response to virus. Acts upstream of or within defense response to virus; host-mediated suppression of symbiont invasion; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; early endosome membrane; and lysosomal membrane. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in COVID-19; adenosquamous gallbladder carcinoma; and gallbladder adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human IFITM1 (interferon induced transmembrane protein 1) and IFITM3 (interferon induced transmembrane protein 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibited enhanced motor coordination during inverted screen testing when compared with that of their wild-type littermates. [provided by MGI curators] |
