Irf1 - interferon regulatory factor 1

Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; cellular response to exogenous dsRNA; and response to peptide hormone. Located in nucleus. Used to study endometrial adenocarcinoma. Biomarker of allergic conjunctivitis; lung disease; respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease; and ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; gastric adenocarcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and smallpox. Orthologous to human IRF1 (interferon regulatory factor 1).
