The <i>ISG56/IFIT1</i> Gene Family
15 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
The ISG56/IFIT1 family of genes is clustered on human chromosome 10 and is comprised of 4 members, ISG56/IFIT1, ISG54/IFIT2, ISG60/IFIT3, and ISG58/IFIT5, whose homologs are evolutionarily conserved from mammals to amphibians. While these genes are normally silent in most cell types, their transcription is strongly induced by interferons, virus infection, and molecular patterns such as double-stranded RNA or...
