Function
Interferon-stimulated protein that plays an important role in innate immune response against a wide variety of viruses. Inhibits flavivirus replication by preventing the formation of virus-induced endoplasmic reticulum membrane invaginations, which are double-membrane vesicles that flaviviruses use for their replication. Has an antiviral activity towards hepatitis C virus/HCV by inhibiting the EGFR signaling pathway, whose activation is required for entry of the virus into cells.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Mitochondrion inner membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
