Scientific Background: | MDA5 is a highly conserved helicase whose ATPase activity can be stimulated by RNA and less potently by DNA. It contains two N-terminal CARD domains and a C-terminal helicase domain. The helicase domain, once freed from the CARD domains, then translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus where it acts on chromatin architecture. This could allow a more easy access of CAD, thereby accelerating the degradation of genomic DNA. |

Regulatory Status: | RUO - Research Use Only |
