Metabolite
Comment: 2'3'-cGAMP is produced in mammalian cells by the action of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS) upon detection of double-stranded DNA in the cytosol that originates for example, from tumours or viruses. It is the endogenous agonist of the human STING protein [2], but appears not to activate mouse Sting. STING activation at the endoplasmic reticulum triggers type-I IFNs production by the innate immune response [1].
Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
2'3'-cGAMP is an endogenous STING agonist that binds to and activates STING in the endoplasmic reticulum to trigger secretion of type-I IFNs and pro-inflammatory cytokines as part of the innate immune response to the detection of pathogen-derived or self DNA within the cytoplasm [1]. |
