DEFINITION

Interferon regulatory factor 3 (427 aa, ~47 kDa) is encoded by the human IRF3 gene. This protein plays a role in the modulation of both antiviral activity and interferon-stimulated response element promoter activation.

DesignNote

IRF3 is found in an inactive cytoplasmic form that upon serine/threonine phosphorylation forms a complex with CREBBP. This complex translocates to the nucleus and activates the transcription of interferons alpha and beta, as well as other interferon-induced genes. (EntrezGene)
