Also known as: Gm1313; Ifi210
Summary: Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; pattern recognition receptor activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including AIM2 inflammasome complex assembly; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of defense response. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-beta. Part of AIM2 inflammasome complex. Is active in cytoplasm; nucleus; and site of double-strand break. Orthologous to human AIM2 (absent in melanoma 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
