This interferon-induced gene encodes a protein that synthesizes 2',5'-oligoadenylates (2-5As). This protein plays a key role in innate cellular antiviral response, and has been implicated in other cellular processes like cell growth and apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants with different enzymatic activities. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to viral infection, including SARS-CoV-2, and diabetes mellitus, type 1. This gene is located in a cluster of related genes on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]
A study in rats demonstrated that the OAS1 is a member of a brain gene co-expression module associated with voluntary alcohol consumption, though its expression was not significantly altered following genetic disruption of the hub long non-coding RNA Lrap [Saba et al. DOI:10.1111/Gbb.12698].
