Mavs - mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein

Predicted to enable CARD domain binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; positive regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of defense response. Predicted to act upstream of or within RIG-I signaling pathway and positive regulation of type I interferon production. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial outer membrane and peroxisomal membrane. Orthologous to human MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein).
