Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of IRF4 in rat tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the IRF (interferon regulatory factor) family of transcription factors, characterized by an unique tryptophan pentad repeat DNA-binding domain. The IRFs are important in the regulation of interferons in response to infection by virus, and in the regulation of interferon-inducible genes. This family member is lymphocyte specific and negatively regulates Toll-like-receptor (TLR) signaling that is central to the activation of innate and adaptive immune systems. A chromosomal translocation involving this gene and the IgH locus, t(6\,14)(p25\,q32), may be a cause of multiple myeloma. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
