Specificity: This IFIT2 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 307-335 amino acids from the Central region of human IFIT2.
Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasm. Endoplasmic reticulum
Molecular Weight: 54632
Clone: Polyclonal
Gene Name: IFIT2
Gene ID: 3433
Function: IFN-induced antiviral protein which inhibits expression of viral messenger RNAs lacking 2'-O-methylation of the 5' cap. The ribose 2'-O-methylation would provide a molecular signature to distinguish between self and non-self mRNAs by the host during viral infection. Viruses evolved several ways to evade this restriction system such as encoding their own 2'-O-methylase for their mRNAs or by stealing host cap containing the 2'-O-methylation (cap snatching mechanism) . Binds AU-rich viral RNAs, with or without 5' triphosphorylation, RNA-binding is required for antiviral activity. Can promote apoptosis.
