This gene encodes a Z-DNA binding protein. The encoded protein plays a role in the innate immune response by binding to foreign DNA and inducing type-I interferon production. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
Forensic Context
A study in mice demonstrated that the ZBP1 was upregulated in the late stage of lethal infection (H06) and as bacterial load reduced in the non-lethal model, indicating its involvement in the pro-inflammatory response [Zhang et al. DOI:10.1093/jimmun/vkaf140].
