RIGI RNA sensor RIG-I

Gene ID: 23586, updated on 16-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RIG1; DDX58; RIG-I; RLR-1; SGMRT2

Summary

DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases which are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving RNA binding and alteration of RNA secondary structure. This gene encodes a protein containing RNA helicase-DEAD box protein motifs and a caspase recruitment domain (CARD). It is involved in viral double-stranded (ds) RNA recognition and the regulation of the antiviral innate immune response. Mutations in this gene are associated with Singleton-Merten syndrome 2.
