Target Information

Interferons (IFNs) are involved in numerous immune interactions during viral infections and play a major role in both the induction and regulation of innate and adaptive antiviral mechanisms. During infection, host-virus interactions signal downstream molecules such as transcription factors like IFN regulatory factor-3 (IRF3), which can stimulate transcription of IFN-α/β genes.
IRF7 plays a role in the transcriptional activation of virus-inducible cellular genes, including interferon beta chain genes. It is a key component in the innate immune pathway, 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, although their functions are not yet clearly established.
