Sting1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables 2',3'-cyclic GMP-AMP binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of type I interferon production. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including ciliary basal body; mitochondrial outer membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of STING complex. Predicted to be active in autophagosome; bounding membrane of organelle; and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy. Orthologous to human STING1 (stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1).

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 rat Sting1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
