Western blot analysis of extracts from HepG2 cells treated with EGF 200ng/ml 30', using IRF-3 (Phospho-Ser386) Antibody. The lane on the right is treated with the synthesized peptide.
Rabbit polyclonal antibody to IRF-3 (phospho Ser386)Mediates interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) promoter activation. Functions as a molecular switch for antiviral activity. DsRNA generated during the course of an viral infection leads to IRF3 phosphorylation on the C-terminal serine/threonine cluster. This induces a conformational change, leading to its dimerization, nuclear localization and association with CREB binding protein (CREBBP) to form dsRNA-activated factor 1 (DRAF1), a complex which activates the transcription of genes under the control of ISRE. The complex binds to the IE and PRDIII regions on the IFN-alpha and IFN-beta promoters respectively. IRF-3 does not have any transcription activation domains.

*Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the researcher.
:
IRF-3 (Phospho-Ser386) Antibody detects endogenous levels of IRF-3 only when phosphorylated at serine386.
Cellular Localization
Shuttles between cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments, with export being the prevailing effect. When activated, IRF3 interaction with CREBBP prevents its export to the cytoplasm.
