Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; identical protein binding activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of type I interferon production; 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 cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-8 cell stage conceptus; blastocyst-stage conceptus; central nervous system; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease. Orthologous to human IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3).
