Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) also known as interferon consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IRF8 gene. IRF8 is a transcription factor that plays critical roles in the regulation of lineage commitment and in myeloid cell maturation including the decision for a common myeloid progenitor (CMP) to differentiate into a monocyte precursor cell.
