Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in antiviral innate immune response; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and negative regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
Forensic Context
A study in humans identified the IFIT3 as a high-degree node in a protein-protein interaction network and as significantly upregulated in blood samples from myocardial infarction patients compared to healthy controls, with its expression trend confirmed through electronic validation [Zhao et al. DOI:10.3892/etm.2017.5580]. Another human study analyzing burn injury progression identified the IFIT3 as one of 19 center genes commonly differentially expressed across early-stage, middle-stage, and control blood sample comparisons [Wu et al. DOI:10.007/s10753-018-0829-0].
