Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including cytoskeletal protein binding activity; guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity; and pyrophosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to interferon-beta; positive regulation of innate immune response; and positive regulation of pyroptosis. Acts upstream of or within adhesion of symbiont to host; cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; and defense response to other organism. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and symbiont-containing vacuole membrane. Is active in symbiont cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to several human genes including GBP2 (guanylate binding protein 2).
