Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3660
Gene name Interferon regulatory factor 2
Gene symbol IRF2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
IRF-2
Chromosome 4
Chromosome location 4q35.1
Summary IRF2 encodes interferon regulatory factor 2, a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. IRF2 competitively inhibits the IRF1-mediated transcriptional activation of interferons alpha and beta, and presumably other genes that e

Protein name Interferon regulatory factor 2 (IRF-2)
Protein function Specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of type I IFN and IFN-inducible MHC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS)) and represses those genes. Also acts as an activator for several genes including H4 and IL7. Constit
