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]
