Disease: Virus Diseases
Virus Diseases
0.050 Biomarker group BEFREE Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) detects cytosolic DNA during virus infection and induces an antiviral state. cGAS signals by synthesis of a second messenger, cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which activates stimulator of interferon genes (STING). 26229117 2015
