Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase activity and double-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of innate immune response. Predicted to act upstream of or within innate immune response. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol; membrane; and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human OAS3 (2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 3).
