Ifitm2

Involved in host-mediated suppression of symbiont invasion and response to virus. Acts upstream of or within defense response to virus. Predicted to be located in early endosome membrane; late 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 4-cell stage embryo; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in COVID-19. Orthologous to human IFITM2 (interferon induced transmembrane protein 2) and IFITM3 (interferon induced transmembrane protein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Ifitm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
