Probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX60
Definition:
Positively regulates RIGI- and IFIH1/MDA5-dependent type I interferon and interferon inducible gene expression in response to viral infection. Binds ssRNA, dsRNA and dsDNA and can promote the binding of RIGI to dsRNA. Exhibits antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV).
