Gene information for IRF2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3660
Official gene symbolIRF2
Full nameinterferon regulatory factor 2
Aliases,DKFZp686F0244,IRF-2,
Gene summaryIRF2 encodes interferon regulatory factor 2, a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. 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. [provided by RefSeq]
