Interferon-induced 15 kDa protein (ISG15) acts as ubiquitin by conjugating to intracellular target proteins such as JAK1 or MAPK3/ERK1 through an enzyme pathway distinct from that of ubiquitin. ISG15 shows specific chemotactic activity towards neutrophils and activates them to induce the release of eosinophil chemotactic factors. ISG15 is also involved in paracrine, autocrine and endocrine mechanisms by inducing IFN-g secretion by monocytes and macrophages, as in cell-to-cell signaling. ISG15 is a cytoplasmic protein expressed mainly in muscle, epithelial, neuronal and lymphoid cells.
