| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to symbiont; regulation of T cell activation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell differentiation; positive regulation of interleukin-12 production; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including bone marrow; early conceptus; eye; genitourinary system; and gut. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; lung cancer (multiple); primary immunodeficiency disease; smallpox; and stomach cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human IRF1 (interferon regulatory factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous disruption of this gene leads to reduced CD8+ T cell number and altered response to viral infection and may cause alterations in cytokine levels, CD4+ cell subset homeostasis, blood vessel healing, DNA repair, and susceptibility to induced lymphomas, arthritis and autoimmune encephalitis.
