Mouse Irf3 Antibody (N-term) [APR04512G]

Mouse Irf3 Antibody (N-term) [APR04512G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: M

Specificity: This Mouse Irf3 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 46-72 amino acids from the N-terminal region of mouse Irf3.

Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14653}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14653}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14653}. Note=Shuttles between cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments, with export being the prevailing effect. When activated, IRF3 interaction with CREBBP prevents its export to the cytoplasm. Recruited to mitochondria via TOMM70:HSP90AA1 upon Sendai virus infection. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14653}

Molecular Weight: 46852

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: Irf3

Gene ID: 54131

Function: Key transcriptional regulator of type I interferon (IFN) - dependent immune responses which plays a critical role in the innate immune response against DNA and RNA viruses (PubMed:15800576) . Regulates the transcription of type I IFN genes (IFN-alpha and IFN- beta) and IFN-stimulated genes (ISG) by binding to an interferon- stimulated response element (ISRE) in their promoters (PubMed:15800576) . Acts as a more potent activator of the IFN-beta (IFNB) gene than the IFN-alpha (IFNA) gene and plays a critical role in both the early and late phases of the IFNA/B gene induction (PubMed:16846591, PubMed:16979567, PubMed:20049431) . Found in an inactive form in the cytoplasm of uninfected cells and following viral infection, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), or toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, is phosphorylated by IKBKE and TBK1 kinases (PubMed:16846591, PubMed:16979567, PubMed:20049431) . This induces a conformational change, leading to its dimerization and nuclear localization and association with CREB binding protein (CREBBP) to form dsRNA-activated factor 1 (DRAF1), a complex which activates the transcription of the type I IFN and ISG genes (PubMed:16846591, PubMed:16979567, PubMed:20049431) . Can activate distinct gene expression programs in macrophages and can induce significant apoptosis in primary macrophages (PubMed:16846591, PubMed:16979567, PubMed:20049431) .
