Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4), also known as multiple myeloma oncogene-1 (MUM1), is a transcription factor. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 6p25.3. The protein is specifically expressed in lymphocytes.
Immunogen
IRF4 (NP_002451, 342 a.a. ~ 451 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) plays a vital role in regulation of immunoglobulin class switch recombination and plasma cell differentiation. In addition, it is also implicated in maintaining homeostasis of both mature B and mature T lymphocytes. Mutation in the gene is associated with the risk of developing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Lymphocyte-specific interferon regulatory factor (LSIRF) (now called IRF4) is a transcription factor expressed only in lymphocytes. Mice deficient in IRF4 showed normal distribution of B and T lymphocyes at 4 to 5 weeks of age but developed progressive generalized lymphadenopathy.
