IRF7 refers to a protein target that is studied across multiple biological contexts; annotations and nomenclature can vary by species and isoform. This product corresponds to the Homo sapiens (Human) sequence context, which can be important when comparing homologs or orthologs across model systems. For curated functional annotations, domains, and sequence features, consult primary databases (e.g., UniProt\/NCBI) and the recent literature for the specific organism and isoform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDissecting domain-specific functions of regulatory proteins involved in chromatin organization and transcriptional control.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMapping protein–protein and protein–nucleic acid interactions that coordinate gene expression programs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilding in vitro assays for enzymatic activities and reader–writer–eraser mechanisms linked to epigenetic regulation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelevance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Key transcriptional regulator of type I interferon-dependent immune responses and plays a critical role in the innate immune response against DNA and RNA viruses. Regulates the transcription of type I IFN genes and IFN-stimulated genes by binding to an interferon-stimulated response element in their promoters. Can efficiently activate both the IFN-beta and the IFN-alpha genes and mediate their induction via both the virus-activated, MyD88-independent pathway and the TLR-activated, MyD88-dependent pathway. Required during both the early and late phases of the IFN gene induction but is more critical for the late than for the early phase. Exists in an inactive form in the cytoplasm of uninfected cells and following viral infection, double-stranded RNA, or toll-like receptor signaling, becomes phosphorylated by IKBKE and TBK1 kinases. This induces a conformational change, leading to its dimerization and nuclear localization where along with other coactivators it can activate transcription of the type I IFN and ISG genes. Can also play a role in regulating adaptive immune responses by inducing PSMB9\/LMP2 expression, either directly or through induction of IRF1. Binds to the Q promoter of EBV nuclear antigen 1 a and may play a role in the regulation of EBV latency. Can activate distinct gene expression programs in macrophages and regulate the anti-tumor properties of primary macrophages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssay and standard development for immunoassays or binding-based detection methods.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtein–protein interaction studies (e.g., receptor–ligand or complex assembly) using purified components.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStructure–function analysis, including domain mapping or evaluation of sequence variants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn quantitative assay development, changes in binding or activity readouts are typically interpreted relative to appropriate negative\/positive controls and, where possible, orthogonal assay formats that support the same conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecombinant constructs may represent a defined region (domain) rather than the full-length protein; interpret results in the context of the expressed region.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTag or fusion elements can aid purification and detection but may influence binding surfaces or oligomerization; consider tag controls when relevant.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecies and isoform differences can affect interaction partners and post-translational modifications; align experimental controls to the intended biological context.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eE. coli expression can limit eukaryotic post-translational modifications; for modification-dependent biology, interpret results accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry for Q92985 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/Q92985\/entry - NCBI Gene search (IRF7) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=IRF7 - PubMed search (IRF7) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=IRF7 - RCSB PDB search (IRF7) — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/search?query=IRF7 - Reactome Pathway Browser — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53065310667117,"sku":"CSB-EP011822HUa0-1MG","price":2466.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53065473393005,"sku":"CSB-EP011822HUa0-100UG","price":578.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53065473425773,"sku":"CSB-EP011822HUa0-20UG","price":306.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-EP011822HUa0-SDS.jpg?v=1772476546","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-interferon-regulatory-factor-7-irf7-bhp10510126","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
