UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q8CIF6 (Q8CIF6)
Gene Name:
Sidt2
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Mediates the translocation of RNA and DNA across the lysosomal membrane during RNA and DNA autophagy (RDA), a process in which RNA and DNA is directly imported into lysosomes in an ATP-dependent manner, and degraded (PubMed:27046251, PubMed:27846365, PubMed:28724756). Involved in the uptake of single-stranded oligonucleotides by living cells, a process called gymnosis (PubMed:28277980). In vitro, mediates the uptake of linear DNA more efficiently than that of circular DNA, but exhibits similar uptake efficacy toward RNA and DNA (PubMed:27846365). Binds long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) (500 - 700 base pairs), but not dsRNA shorter than 100 bp (PubMed:26067272)
