Ifitm3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Involved in cardiac muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including bounding membrane of organelle; cell surface; and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in COVID-19. Orthologous to several human genes including IFITM3 (interferon induced transmembrane protein 3). [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 rat Ifitm3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
