| Function | Nucleotidyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) from ATP and GTP. Catalysis involves both the formation of a 2',5' phosphodiester linkage at the GpA step and the formation of a 3',5' phosphodiester linkage at the ApG step, producing c[G(2',5')pA(3',5')p]. Has antiviral activity by acting as a key cytosolic DNA sensor, the presence of double- stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the cytoplasm being a danger signal that triggers the immune responses. Binds cytosolic DNA directly, leading to activation and synthesis of cGAMP, a second messenger that binds to and activates TMEM173/STING, thereby triggering type-I interferon production. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21478870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23258413, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23707061, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23707065, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23722159, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24116191, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24462292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25131990}. |
