IFITM5 (interferon-induced transmembrane protein 5) also known as DSPA1 (dispanin subfamily A member 1) and BRIL (bone-restricted interferon-induced transmembrane protein-like protein) is a 2-pass transmembrane protein belonging to the CD225/Dispanin family. IFTIM5 is thought to play a role in bone mineralization. The IFITM5 gene is located on chromosome 11 in a cluster of related genes which are induced by interferon, however, this gene has not been shown to be interferon inducible. A similar gene, located in a gene cluster on mouse chromosome 7, is a member of the interferon-inducible fragilis gene family. The mouse gene encodes a transmembrane protein described as participating in germ cell competence. A mutation in the 5' UTR of the IFITM5 gene has been associated with osteogenesis imperfecta type V (OI5), an connective tissue disorder characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: IFITM5; OI5; BRIL; DSPA1; Hrmp1; fragilis4

 

NCBI Gene ID: 387733

 

Uniprot Entry: A6NNB3

 

Construct Details: Full length human IFITM5 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 399 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
