Official Full Name: interferon regulatory factor 7
Also known as: IMD39; IRF-7; IRF7A; IRF7B; IRF7C; IRF7H; IRF-7H
This gene encodes interferon regulatory factor 7, a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. It has been shown to play a role in the transcriptional activation of virus-inducible cellular genes, including interferon beta chain genes. Inducible expression of IRF7 is largely restricted to lymphoid tissue. The encoded protein plays an important role in the innate immune response against DNA and RNA viruses.
