Talk:MB21D1

Out of date page name

The current page name, "MB21D1" is a placeholder gene symbol, so we probably should update the page name. The uniprot protein name is "Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase" while the gene symbol is CGAS. Previous symbols are listed as MB21D1 and C6orf150, so the identity is confirmed. The uniprot name seems short enough, and it is quite informative, so I would move the page to "Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase", but unfortunately it was already created for the EC enzyme page. It looks like that enzyme activity is performed by proteins coded by different genes in different species outside of mammals, so I'm not sure it would be good to merge. On the other hand CGAS has also been taken as a redirect by Children's Global Assessment Scale. CGAS (gene) could work, but that is not ideal either. For now I will leave things alone and think about it. Pabnau (talk) 02:34, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
