UniProtKB description:  Nucleotidyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of cyclic UMP-AMP (2',3'-cUAMP) from ATP and UTP and plays a key role in innate immunity (PubMed:37379839). Acts as a key sensor of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), the presence of dsDNA in the cytoplasm being a danger signal that triggers the immune responses (PubMed:37379839). Directly binds dsDNA, activating the nucleotidyltransferase activity, leading to synthesis of 2',3'-cUAMP, a second messenger that binds to and activates Sting, thereby triggering the immune response via activation of the NF-kappa-B transcription factor (PubMed:37379839).
