Function
Ubiquitin-like protein which plays a key role in the innate immune response to viral infection either via its conjugation to a target protein (ISGylation) or via its action as a free or unconjugated protein. ISGylation involves a cascade of enzymatic reactions involving E1, E2, and E3 enzymes which catalyze the conjugation of ISG15 to a lysine residue in the target protein. Exhibits antiviral activity towards both DNA and RNA viruses.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in endometrium and uterine flushings of pregnant cow. Also secreted. Not detected in spleen, liver, corpus luteum or muscle
