Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including DEAD/H-box RNA helicase binding activity; NAD+-protein ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to exogenous dsRNA and positive regulation of type I interferon production. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in early conceptus; inner cell mass; liver lobe; oocyte; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human ZC3HAV1 (zinc finger CCCH-type containing, antiviral 1).
