Mouse Anti-IFIT5 (Interferon-induced Protein with Tetratricopeptide Repeats 5, IFIT-5, Interferon-induced 58kD Protein, Retinoic Acid- and Interferon-inducible 58kD Protein, P58, ISG58, RI58)
Interferon-induced RNA-binding protein that specifically binds single-stranded RNA bearing a 5'-triphosphate group (PPP-RNA), thereby acting as a sensor of viral single-stranded RNAs. Single-stranded PPP-RNAs, which lack 2'-O-methylation of the 5' cap and bear a 5'-triphosphate group instead, are specific from viruses, providing a molecular signature to distinguish between self and non-self mRNAs by the host during viral infection. Directly binds PPP-RNA in a non-sequence-specific manner. Also recognizes and binds tRNAs.
