===Structure of mouse cGAS bound to an 18bp DNA and cGAS product=== | |||
==Function== | |||
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CGAS_MOUSE CGAS_MOUSE]] Nucleotidyltransferase that catalyzes formation of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) from ATP and GTP and exhibits antiviral activity. Has antiviral activity by acting as a key cytosolic DNA sensor, the presence of DNA in the cytoplasm being a danger signal that triggers the immune responses. Binds cytosolic DNA directly, leading to activation and synthesis of cGAMP, a second messenger that binds to and activates TMEM173/STING, thereby triggering type-I interferon production. | |||
