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) | ||||
Abca17 | ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 17; Promotes cholesterol efflux from sperm which renders sperm capable of fertilization. Has also been shown to decrease levels of intracellular esterified neutral lipids including cholesteryl esters, fatty acid esters and triacylglycerols. (1733 aa) |
