IFITM1 also known as Interferon-Induced Transmembrane Protein 1 has a molecular weight of approximately 14 kDa. It is a transmembrane protein that plays an important role in host defense mechanisms. IFITM1 is expressed in various tissues including the respiratory tract gastrointestinal tract and the immune system where it serves in defending against pathogenic infections. The protein is usually found on the cell membrane and becomes highly expressed in response to interferon signaling.
Biological function summary
This protein inhibits viral entry by restricting the fusion of viral membranes with host cell membranes. IFITM1 does not function alone; it is part of the IFITM family which includes IFITM2 and IFITM3 each contributing to antiviral defense. The protein is strategically positioned to prevent the spread of viruses by blocking them from entering new cells which is important for managing viral propagation.
Pathways
IFITM1 engages the innate immune response pathway responding to viral infections by acting as a barrier to viral entry. It works alongside related proteins such as IFITM2 and IFITM3 within this pathway. IFITM1 is also part of the interferon pathway where its expression is upregulated in response to interferon signals. This relationship highlights its role in the immune response acting as a frontline protector against the invasion of viruses like influenza and others.
IFITM1 has a significant role in the context of viral infections and certain cancers. It is linked to resistance to viral infections such as influenza showing its importance in antiviral defense. In cancer aberrant expression of IFITM1 is observed in various types including breast and colorectal cancers impacting tumor progression and metastasis. The relationship of IFITM1 with interferon signaling highlights potential therapeutic targets where modulating its activity could influence disease outcomes.
