Gene: IRF7

Alternate names for this Gene: IMD39|IRF-7|IRF-7H|IRF7A|IRF7B|IRF7C|IRF7H

Gene Summary: IRF7 encodes interferon regulatory factor 7, a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. IRF7 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. Multiple IRF7 transcript variants have been identified, although the functional consequences of these have not yet been established.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
