Gene information for IRF5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3663
Official gene symbolIRF5
Full nameinterferon regulatory factor 5
Aliases,SLEB10,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family, a group of transcription factors with diverse roles, including virus-mediated activation of interferon, and modulation of cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune system activity. Members of the IRF family are characterized by a conserved N-terminal DNA-binding domain containing tryptophan (W) repeats. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and a 30-nt indel polymorphism (SNP rs60344245) can result in loss of a 10-aa segment. [provided by RefSeq]
