Summary: Enables 2',3'-cyclic GMP-AMP binding activity; cyclic-di-GMP binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; macroautophagy; and positive regulation of innate immune response. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-beta; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of inflammatory response. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi membrane; autophagosome; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of STING complex. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; ileum; liver; and prostate gland. Used to study STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy. Orthologous to human STING1 (stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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.
