RIG-I

RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene I), encoded by the gene DDX58 (DEAD box polypeptide 58), is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor (PRR) that can mediate induction of a type-I interferon (IFN1) response. RIG-I is an essential molecule in the innate immune system for recognizing cells that have been infected with a virus, including but not limited…
