Biological background
IRF4 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Regulates activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK and plays a central role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. Required for normal antibody isotype switching from IgM to IgG. Has E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity and promotes 'Lys-63'- linked ubiquitination of target proteins, such as BIRC3, RIPK1 and TICAM1. Is an essential constituent of several E3 ubiquitin- protein ligase complexes, where it promotes the ubiquitination of target proteins by bringing them into contact with other E3 ubiquitin ligases. Regulates BIRC2 and BIRC3 protein levels by inhibiting their autoubiquitination and subsequent degradation; this does not depend on the TRAF2 RING-type zinc finger domain. Plays a role in mediating activation of NF-kappa-B by EIF2AK2/PKR. In complex with BIRC2 or BIRC3, promotes ubiquitination of IKBKE. . Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Released primarily from activated T lymphocytes.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cancer,Cancer Susceptibility,Cell Type Markers,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Oncoproteins,Oncoproteins/Suppressors,Proto-Oncogenes,Tags & Cell Markers,Transcription,Transcription Factors,Tumor Associated.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate IRF4 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect IRF4 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect IRF4 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Enrich IRF4 by immunoprecipitation from lysates for downstream analysis
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 52 kDa; calculated MW: 55859 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
