Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 (IRF5)
- Target
- IRF5
- Molecular classification
- Transcription factor
01
Overview
Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a transcription factor that plays critical roles in immune response regulation, particularly in antiviral defense and inflammation. Variations in the IRF5 gene are strongly associated with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Targeting IRF5 activity offers potential strategies for modulating inflammatory responses: inhibiting it could benefit autoimmune conditions; enhancing it may support immunodeficient states or improve antiviral defenses.
