Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA binding activity; single-stranded RNA binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in antiviral innate immune response and cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to virus and innate immune response. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human RIGI (RNA sensor RIG-I).
XBXT Description
