Dhx58 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables double-stranded RNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of innate immune response; regulation of type I interferon production; and response to virus. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human DHX58 (DExH-box helicase 58).

Protein Domains
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 Dhx58 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
