| Description : |
This gene encodes a five transmembrane protein that functions as a major regulator of the innate immune response to viral and bacterial infections. The encoded protein is a pattern recognition receptor that detects cytosolic nucleic acids and transmits signals that activate type I interferon responses. The encoded protein has also been shown to play a role in apoptotic signaling by associating with type II major histocompatibility complex. Mutations in this gene are the cause of infantile-onset STING-associated vasculopathy. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. |
| Bio-activity : |
Serial dilutions of canonical 3'3'-cGAMP were incubated with 5 ug recombinant human STING R232 variant in 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, and SYPRO Orange dye at 4 centigrade. The reaction was read on Real-Time PCR Detection System at 4-100 centigrade. The binding of the ligand stabilizes the protein structure. increasing the melting temperature (Tm), which is detected via a thermal shift assay (TSA), also known as a differential scanning fluorimetry(DSF) assay. |
