MeSH definition : A DEAD-box RNA helicase that contains an N-terminal DEATH-LIKE DOMAIN, AAA ATPase
domain, and C-terminal RNA HELICASE activity. It functions as an innate immune receptor
through its recognition of viral nucleic acids. It also induces the expression of
INTERFERON TYPE I and proinflammatory CYTOKINES. Its ligands include: 5'-triphosphorylated
SINGLE-STRANDED RNA, DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA (dsRNA), and short dsRNA (less than 1 kb
in length).;
