Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; identical protein binding activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; response to virus; and type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; regulation of defense response; and response to exogenous dsRNA. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease. Orthologous to human IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NR_045611.1 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses a different splice site in the 5' end, compared to variant 1. The transcript is represented as non-coding due to the presence of an upstream ORF that is predicted to interfere with translation of the longest ORF; translation of the upstream ORF renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
