Background

IRF8 (interferon regulatory factor 8; also ICSBP) is a 50 kDa member of the IRF family of proteins. It is expressed in myeloid, dendritic and B cells and interacts with PU.1 to regulate the expression of TLR4, IL-18, IL-12p35, and PTPN13, a Fas-associated phosphatase that blocks Fas-induced apoptosis. Human IRF8 is 426 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an N-terminal DNA-binding basic region (aa 9-110) and at least one regulatory phosphorylation site at Tyr95. Over aa 255-426, human IRF8 shares 90% and 88% aa sequence identity with canine and mouse IRF8, respectively.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
