Target data Adapter required for innate immune defense against viruses (PubMed : 16125763, PubMed : 16127453, PubMed : 16153868, PubMed : 16177806, PubMed : 19631370, PubMed : 20127681, PubMed : 20451243, PubMed : 21170385, PubMed : 23087404, PubMed : 27992402, PubMed : 33139700, PubMed : 37582970). Acts downstream of DHX33, RIGI and IFIH1/MDA5, which detect intracellular dsRNA produced during viral replication, to coordinate pathways leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B, IRF3 and IRF7, and to the subsequent induction of antiviral cytokines such as IFNB and RANTES (CCL5) (PubMed : 16125763, PubMed : 16127453, PubMed : 16153868, PubMed : 16177806, PubMed : 19631370, PubMed : 20127681, PubMed : 20451243, PubMed : 20628368, PubMed : 21170385, PubMed : 23087404, PubMed : 25636800, PubMed : 27736772, PubMed : 33110251). Peroxisomal and mitochondrial MAVS act sequentially to create an antiviral cellular state (PubMed : 20451243). Upon viral infection, peroxisomal MAVS induces the rapid interferon-independent expression of defense factors that provide short-term protection, whereas mitochondrial MAVS activates an interferon-dependent signaling pathway with delayed kinetics, which amplifies and stabilizes the antiviral response (PubMed : 20451243). May activate the same pathways following detection of extracellular dsRNA by TLR3 (PubMed : 16153868). May protect cells from apoptosis (PubMed : 16125763). Involved in NLRP3 inflammasome activation by mediating NLRP3 recruitment to mitochondria (PubMed : 23582325). See full target information MAVS
