Unc-93 homolog B1 (C. elegans), also known as UNC93B1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the UNC93B1 gene.56
Function
This gene encodes a protein with similarity to the Caenorhabditis elegans unc93 protein. The Unc93 protein is involved in the regulation or coordination of muscle contraction in the worm.5
In humans, UNC93B1 is involved in interferon production. Mutations in UNC93B1 have been associated with an innate immune defect that increases susceptibility to encephalitis caused by herpes simplex virus.7
