Description
Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in microglia development; regulation of macrophage differentiation; and regulation of neutrophil differentiation. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary immunodeficiency disease. Is expressed in brain; eye; hematopoietic cell; hematopoietic system; and yolk. Orthologous to human IRF8 (interferon regulatory factor 8).
