TMEM173 Alternative Spliced Isoforms Modulate Viral Replication through the STING Pathway
1 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The innate immune system provides a primary line of defense against pathogens. Stimulator of IFN genes (STING), encoded by the TMEM173 gene, is a critical protein involved in IFN-β induction in response to infection by different pathogens. In this study, we describe the expression of three different alternative-spliced human (h) TMEM173 mRNAs producing STING truncated isoforms 1, 2, and 3 in addition to...
