The research progress of interferon induced transmembrane protein in tumor / 国际外科学杂志

Interferon induced transmembrane protein (IFITM is a recently discovered antiviral protein family in the cell,which inhibit many with or without coated virus replication to have antiviral effects.At the same time,some recent studies show that IFITM3 plays an important role in migration of a variety of human tumor cells and stem cells.While the mechanism in human tumor occurrence,development and diffusion transfer of IFITM3 is still unclear.This paper is aim to summarize the research progress and direction of IFITM3 protein in human tumors.
