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.

Classical ISGs are expressed by maternal immune cells, as well as uterine GE and SC that do not express IRF2 and therefore respond to IFNT via the classical JAK/STAT cell signaling pathway (Figure 2).
