Facts about Interferon-induced helicase C domain-containing protein 1.
Upon ligand binding it associates with mitochondria antiviral signaling protein (MAVS/IPS1) which activates the IKK-related kinases: TBK1 and IKBKE that phosphorylate interferon regulatory factors: IRF3 and IRF7 which in turn activate transcription of antiviral immunological genes, such as interferons (IFNs); IFN-alpha and IFN-beta. Responsible for discovering the Picornaviridae family members like encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and mengo encephalomyocarditis virus (ENMG).

Widely expressed, at a low level. Expression is detected at slightly highest levels in placenta, pancreas and spleen and at barely levels in detectable brain, testis and lung.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. May be found in the nucleus, during apoptosis.
