Target Information

Interferons (IFNs) are involved in numerous immune interactions during viral infections and play a major role in the induction and regulation of innate and adaptive antiviral mechanisms. During infection, host-virus interactions activate transcription factors such as IRF3, which stimulate transcription of IFN-α/β genes.
IRF7 is essential for the transcriptional activation of virus-inducible cellular genes, including interferon beta chain genes. It plays a major role in the innate immune pathway by interacting with Toll-like receptor (TLR) adaptor proteins MyD88 and Tirp/TRAM, functioning as an intermediate in TLR4 and TLR9 signaling.
There are at least four differentially spliced isoforms of IRF7, though their specific functions have not been clearly established.
