Gene Information

human ... IRF8(3394)

General description

Interferon regulatory factors are transcription factors that regulate the expression of interferon system. The activity of IRF-8 has been implicated in vascular diseases.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human IRF8

Application

Anti-IRF8 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 0.5-2 μg/ml. For immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration of 4-8 μg/ml is suitable.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IRF-8 regulates the activity of myocardin and modulates the phenotype of smooth muscle cells. It regulates the development and function of T cells, B cells and macrophages. IRF-8 induces the production of type 1 interferons in dendritic cells.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: MFRIPWKHAGKQDYNQEVDASIFKAWAVFKGKFKEGDKAEPATWKTRLRC

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.
