This protein, known as BRF1, acts as a transcription factor, binding to specific DNA sequences and regulating the expression of various immune-related genes. It is essential for the proper functioning of immune cells, including T lymphocytes and macrophages, which are critical for fighting infections and maintaining immune homeostasis.
