IRGM1 is recognized as a master regulator of type I interferon responses against pathogens, while also protecting against autoimmune diseases. It has now been shown that IRGM1 controls autoinflammatory responses by modulating mitophagy flux.
IRGM1 被认为是针对病原体的 I 型干扰素反应的主调控因子,同时也能预防自身免疫性疾病。现在已经表明,IRGM1 通过调节线粒体自噬通量来控制自身炎症反应。
