Biochem Physiol Actions: MB21D1 (Mab-21 domain containing 1) is a cytosolic DNA sensor and is responsible for the immune activation. It is needed for interferon production via the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) pathway. DNA recognition by MB21D1 results in formation of 2'3'-cGAMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate) which interacts with STING. These events lead to the activation of TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1), followed by activation of transcription factor IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3). MB21D1 also plays an important role in activation of interferons in presence of DNA virus (herpes simplex virus 1, vaccinia virus, adenovirus and retroviruses) infection. It is needed for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by macrophages and works as an innate immune sensor.
