Identification of a novel gene family that includes the interferon-inducible human genes 6–16 and ISG12
19 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human 6-16 and ISG12 genes are transcriptionally upregulated in a variety of cell types in response to type I interferon (IFN). The predicted products of these genes are small (12.9 and 11.5 kDa respectively), hydrophobic proteins that share 36% overall amino acid identity. Gene disruption and over-expression studies have so far failed to reveal any biochemical or cellular roles for these...
