Function |
Host restriction nuclease that blocks early-stage virus replication in dendritic and other myeloid cells. Likewise, suppresses LINE-1 retrotransposon activity. May function by reducing the cellular dNTP levels to levels too low for retroviral reverse transcription to occur. May play a role in mediating proinflammatory responses to TNF-alpha signaling. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18546154, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19525956, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22056990, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24336198}.
