Function
TGTP2_MOUSE Involved in innate cell-autonomous resistance to intracellular pathogens, such as Toxoplasma gondii. During avirulent type II T. gondii infection, recruited to the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) membrane, leading to PV vesiculation and rupture, and subsequent digestion of the parasite within the cytosol (PubMed:19265156, PubMed:24563254). Not recruited to virulent type I T. gondii PV membrane (PubMed:19265156). May confer an antiviral state for vesicular stomatitis virus (PubMed:9725230).[1] [2] [3]
