Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1) concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein containing tetratricopeptide repeats that was originally identified as induced upon treatment with interferon. The encoded protein may inhibit viral replication and translational initiation. This gene is located in a cluster on chromosome 10 with five other closely related genes. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 13. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
