IRF2


Also found in: Acronyms.

IRF2

A gene on chromosome 4q34.1-q35.1 that encodes interferon regulatory factor 2, a protein of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family, which competitively inhibits the IRF1-mediated transcriptional activation of interferons alpha and beta, and presumably other genes whose transcription is activated by IRF1.

Second, it induces expression of interferon regulatory factor 2 (IRF2) in uterine LE/sGE to silence expression of ESR1 and classical IFNT stimulated genes, while, in concert with progesterone (P4), enhancing expression of genes by uterine LE/sGE required for conceptus development, implantation and successful development of the conceptus to term.
In ewes, IFNT induces expression of IRF2, a potent suppressor of transcription, which silences transcription of ESR1.
