Interferon regulatory factor 3 is a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family.
IRF3 is found in an inactive cytoplasmic form that upon serine/threonine phosphorylation forms a complex with CREBBP.
This complex translocates to the nucleus and activates the transcription of interferons alpha and beta, as well as other interferon-induced genes
The IRF3 gene is present in a single copy in the human genome.
Northern blot analysis detected a 1.6kb constitutively expressed IRF3 transcript.
The deduced 427aa IRF3 protein is 34 to 40% identical to other members of the IRF family in the N-terminal region.
Au et al.
(1995) showed that IRF3 is a 50kD protein.
