Anti-interferon regelgevingsfactor 2 IRF2 Antibody Picoband®

IRF2 (interferon regulatory factor 2) is   a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. The IRF2 gene is mapped on 4q35.1. When the  IRF2  gene was overexpressed in NIH 3T3 cells, the cells became transformed and displayed enhanced tumorigenicity in nude mice. One IRF binding site was found within the  IRF2  promoter, and expression of the  IRF2  gene was affected by both transient and stable IRF1 expression. IRF2 competitively inhibits the  IRF1-mediated transcriptional activation of interferons alpha and beta, and presumably other genes that employ IRF1 for transcription activation. However, IRF2 also functions as a transcriptional activator of  histone H4. Irf2  was required to prevent NK-cell apoptosis and keep immature NK cells alive, thus promoting NK-cell maturation and their supply to peripheral blood.

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. Constitutively binds to the ISRE promoter to activate IL7. Involved in cell cycle regulation through binding the site II (HiNF-M) promoter region of H4 and activating transcription during cell growth. Antagonizes IRF1 transcriptional activation. .
