Oas3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase activity and double-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of innate immune response. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol; membrane; and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human OAS3 (2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 3).

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 Oas3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
