About Irf4

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including T-helper 17 cell lineage commitment; defense response to protozoan; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including histone acetylation; myeloid dendritic cell differentiation; and negative regulation of Toll-like Receptor signaling pathway. Part of nucleosome. Is expressed in eye; hemolymphoid system; liver; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia; anaplastic large cell lymphoma; chronic lymphocytic leukemia; multiple myeloma; and peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Orthologous to human IRF4 (interferon regulatory factor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
