Gene information for OAS3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4940
Official gene symbolOAS3
Full name2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 3, 100kDa
Aliases,MGC133260,p100,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme included in the 2', 5' oligoadenylate synthase family. This enzyme is induced by interferons and catalyzes the 2', 5' oligomers of adenosine in order to bind and activate RNase L. This enzyme family plays a significant role in the inhibition of cellular protein synthesis and viral infection resistance. [provided by RefSeq]
