Synonyms: Anti-IRF-3; Anti-Interferon regulatory factor 3
MDL Number: MFCD02096776
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3) is a transcription factor belonging to the IRF family. It is majorly involved in the innate immunity response against viruses and bacteria. The activated IRF3 influences the expression of type I interferons. It generates type I interferons via TLR3/4-mediated signaling pathway. IRF3 can supress the glioma invasion, proliferation, and migration. Studies have suggested that IRF3 may have characteristics of tumor suppression. It is phosphorylated on specific serine residues to finally form a active holocomplex with coactivator CBP/p300. Its activity is monitored by posttranslational modifications.
