Rig1 - RNA sensor RIG-1

Predicted to enable several functions, including nucleic acid binding activity; ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cytokine production; regulation of transcription, DNA-templated; and response to virus. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to exogenous dsRNA. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; bicellular tight junction; and ruffle membrane. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human DDX58 (DExD/H-box helicase 58). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
