IRFs play an important role in pathogen defense, autoimmunity, lymphocyte development, cell growth, and susceptibility to transformation. The IRF family includes nine members: IRF-1, IRF-2, IRF-9\/ISGF3γ, IRF-3, IRF-4 (Pip\/LSIRF\/ICSAT), IRF-5, IRF-6, IRF-7, and IRF-8\/ICSBP. All IRF proteins share homology in their amino-terminal DNA-binding domains. IRF family members regulate transcription through interactions with proteins that share similar DNA-binding motifs, such as IFN-stimulated response elements (ISRE), IFN consensus sequences (ICS), and IFN regulatory elements (IRF-E) (2). IRF-8\/ICSBP is expressed predominantly in hematopoietic cells and is further increased upon treatment with interferon (3,4). IRF-8 can function as a transcription repressor of ICS-containing promoters (4). IRF-8 expression can lead to downregulation of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 (5). Originally described as being induced by IFN-γ, IRF-8 expression is also elevated by IRF-α as well as IL-12 in NK and T cells (6). IRF-8 deficient mice have enhanced susceptibility to various pathogens, impaired interferon production, and deregulated hematopoiesis resembling chronic myelogenous leukemia (7,8). IRF-8 also regulates bone metabolism by suppressing osteoclast formation (9).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nH-ICSBP; ICSBP; ICSBP1; IMD32A; IMD32B; interferon consensus sequence binding protein 1; Interferon consensus sequence-binding protein; Interferon regulatory factor 8; IRF-8; IRF8\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 50\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799937568937,"sku":"83413S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-83413s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
