FunctionCyclic GMP-AMP synthase (CGAS) binds to DNA and catalyzes cGAMP synthesis. The cGAMP activates the type-I interferon pathway. [1] DiseaseMice lacking CGAS are more vulnerable to lethal infection by DNA virus. Structural highlightsThe .[2] 3D structures of cyclic GMP-AMP synthaseCyclic GMP-AMP synthase 3D structures
