Background:

cGAS (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase), also known as MB21D1 (Mab-21 domain containing 1), h-cGAS or C6orf150, is a 522 amino acid cytoplasmic nucleotidyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) from ATP and GTP. cGAS is suggested to have antiviral activity by acting as a key cytosolic DNA sensor. cGAS binds to cytosolic DNA, which leads to cGAMP synthesis and activation of TMEM173, thereby trigger type-I interferon production. Expressed in monocytic cell line THP1, cGAS exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms and is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 6q13.

Specificity:

MB21D1 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of MB21D1 protein.
