IRF4 Antibody

Alternative Names Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF-4) (Lymphocyte-specific interferon regulatory factor) (LSIRF) (Multiple myeloma oncogene 1) (NF-EM5), IRF4, MUM1
Categories Primary Antibodies
Clonality polyclonal

Alternative Names :
Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF-4) (Lymphocyte-specific interferon regulatory factor) (LSIRF) (Multiple myeloma oncogene 1) (NF-EM5), IRF4, MUM1

Description :
Transcriptional activator. Binds to the interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) of the MHC class I promoter. Binds the immunoglobulin lambda light chain enhancer, together with PU.1. Probably plays a role in ISRE-targeted signal transduction mechanisms specific to lymphoid cells. Involved in CD8+ dendritic cell differentiation by forming a complex with the BATF-JUNB heterodimer in immune cells, leading to recognition of AICE sequence (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3'), an immune-specific regulatory element, followed by cooperative binding of BATF and IRF4 and activation of genes.

Function :
Transcriptional activator. Binds to the interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) of the MHC class I promoter. Binds the immunoglobulin lambda light chain enhancer, together with PU.1. Probably plays a role in ISRE-targeted signal transduction mechanisms specific to lymphoid cells. Involved in CD8(+) dendritic cell differentiation by forming a complex with the BATF-JUNB heterodimer in immune cells, leading to recognition of AICE sequence (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3'), an immune-specific regulatory element, followed by cooperative binding of BATF and IRF4 and activation of genes (By similarity).
