• Entrez Summary: N/A
• UniProt Summary: Facilitator of innate immune signaling that acts as a sensor of cytosolic DNA from bacteria and viruses and promotes the production of type I interferon (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta). Innate immune response is triggered in response to non-CpG double- stranded DNA from viruses and bacteria delivered to the cytoplasm. Acts by recognizing and binding cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP), a second messenger produced by bacteria, and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), a messenger produced in response to DNA virus in the cytosol: upon binding of c-di-GMP or cGAMP, autoinhibition is alleviated and TMEM173/STING is able to activate both NF-kappa-B and IRF3 transcription pathways to induce expression of type I interferon and exert a potent anti-viral state. May be involved in translocon function, the translocon possibly being able to influence the induction of type I interferons. May be involved in transduction of apoptotic signals via its association with the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II). Mediates death signaling via activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. Essential for the induction of IFN-beta in response to human herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-1) infection. Exhibits 2',3' phosphodiester linkage-specific ligand recognition. Can bind both 2'-3' linked cGAMP and 3'-3' linked cGAMP but is preferentially activated by 2'-3' linked cGAMP (PubMed:26300263). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18724357, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18818105, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433799, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19776740, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21074459, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21947006, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23027953, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23258412, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23707065, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23722158, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26229117, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26300263, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26669264}.
