Sting1 - stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1

Enables 2',3'-cyclic GMP-AMP binding activity; cyclic-di-GMP binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; macroautophagy; and positive regulation of interferon-beta production. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-beta; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of inflammatory response. Located in several cellular components, including autophagosome; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and peroxisome. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; ileum; and prostate gland. 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).
