Involved in host-mediated suppression of symbiont invasion and response to virus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to virus; receptor-mediated endocytosis; and type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including apical part of cell; cell surface; and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; egg cylinder; genitourinary system; gut; and mesenchyme derived from lateral plate.
