Interferon-Induced Transmembrane Protein 1

Encoded by human IFITM1 Gene (IFN-Induced Transmembrane Protein Family), 125-amino acid 14-kD Interferon-Induced Transmembrane Protein 1 is an IFN-alpha- and -gamma-inducible membrane protein subunit of a multimeric complex involved in antiproliferative and homotypic adhesion signal transduction. IFITM1 Protein appears to demarcate germ cells from somatic neighbors and to mark the onset of germ cell competence. (from LocusLink, Swiss-Prot, OMIM, and NCI) (NCI Thesaurus)
