Ifit2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in response to virus. Acts upstream of or within antiviral innate immune response and cellular response to interferon-alpha. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human IFIT2 (interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ifit2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
