Oas1g

This gene encodes a member of the oligoadenylate synthetase family of proteins. This gene and several other family members are present in a gene cluster on chromosome 5. These proteins are believed to function in antiviral immunity through binding to viral dsRNA and subsequent synthesis of 2'-5'-oligoadenylates. The expression of this gene has been shown to be induced by interferon. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Oas1g often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
