Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 72512 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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 symbiont; 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased susceptibility to viral infection and abnormal innate immunity. Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit altered response to bacterial and viral infection. Male mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
