General description

IFITM3 (interferon induced transmembrane protein 3) is a transmembrane-domain protein (5-18kDa) belongs to a family of murine genes. It acts as a cellular restriction factor. It is associated with various cellular processes such as cell adhesion, immune-cell regulation, germ cell homing and maturation, and bone mineralization. It is involved in the inhibition of infection by influenza virus and many other pathogenic viruses.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The activity of IFITM3 (interferon induced transmembrane protein 3) is post-translationally modulated by S-palmitoylation and lysine ubiquitination. IFITM3 shows controlled clustering in membrane compartments and antiviral activity against influenza virus in post S-palmitoylated condition. It has reported that S-palmitoylation positively regulates IFITM3 membrane affinity and antiviral activity. On the contrary, ubiquitination decreases localization with endolysosomes and decreases antiviral activity. It has also corroborated that gene silencing of IFITM3 plays an important role in glioma cell growth and migration. It can be used as a tumor biomarker as it possesses characteristics of inhibiting tumor development.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Identification of immune effectors and the post-translational modifications that control their activity is essential for dissecting mechanisms of immunity. Here we demonstrate that the antiviral activity of interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is post-translationally regulated by S-palmitoylation. Large-scale profiling of
