GBP1

Interferon-induced guanylate-binding protein 1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the GBP1 is_associated_with::gene. It belongs to the is_associated_with::dynamin superfamily of large is_associated_with::GTPases.

Function
Guanylate binding protein expression is induced by is_associated_with::interferon. Guanylate binding proteins are characterized by their ability to specifically bind guanine nucleotides (GMP, GDP, and GTP) and are distinguished from the GTP-binding proteins by the presence of 2 binding motifs rather than 3.
