Irf8 | Interferon regulatory factor 8; Plays a role as a transcriptional activator or repressor (By similarity). Specifically binds to the upstream regulatory region of type I IFN and IFN-inducible MHC class I genes (the interferon consensus sequence (ICS)). Plays a negative regulatory role in cells of the immune system. Involved in CD8(+) dendritic cell differentiation by forming a complex with the BATF-JUNB heterodimer in immune cells, leading to recognition of AICE sequence (5'-TGAnTCA/GAAA-3'), an immune-specific regulatory element, followed by cooperative binding of BATF and IRF8 and act [...] (424 aa) | ||||
Slc25a44 | Solute carrier family 25 member 44; Mitochondrial solute transporter which transports branched- chain amino acid (BCAA; valine, leucine and isoleucine) into mitochondria in brown adipose tissue (BAT). BAT is involved in BCAA catabolism and actively utilizes BCAA in the mitochondria for thermogenesis. (333 aa) |
