Discovery and Mechanistic Study of a Novel Human-Stimulator-of-Interferon-Genes Agonist
6 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is an integral ER-membrane protein that can be activated by 2′3′-cGAMP synthesized by cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS) upon binding of double-stranded DNA. It activates interferon (IFN) and inflammatory cytokine responses to defend against infection by microorganisms. Pharmacologic activation of STING has been demonstrated to induce an...
