Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA binding cytosolic protein that catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) after sensing the presence of DNA in the cytoplasm. cGAMP binds another protein, Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), leading to the induction of interferons, and a host immune response. Reduced expression of this gene inhibits interferon induction in the presence of some viral infections. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in limb E14.5 (RPKM 1.2), liver E18 (RPKM 0.8) and 27 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains an alternative splice site, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
