| 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; 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). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are more susceptible to viral infection and exhibit lower serum interferon levels in response to viral infection. Knockout also results in progressive retinal degeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
