Functions
cGAS-STING pathway
cGAS Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase NM_138441 Catalyzes the formation of cyclic GMP-AMP from ATP and GTP and plays a key role in innate immunity.
STING Stimulator of interferon genes; transmembrane protein 173 NM_198282 Facilitator of innate immune signaling that acts as a sensor of cytosolic DNA from bacteria and viruses and promotes the production of type I interferon (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta).
TBK1 TANK binding kinase 1 NM_013254, XM_005268809, XM_005268810 Serine/threonine kinase that plays an essential role in regulating inflammatory responses to foreign agents.
