Macrophage migration inhibitory factor

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIF, is a cytokine released by T-lymphocytes, macrophages, and the pituitary gland that serves to integrate peripheral and central inflammatory responses. MIF gene has 3 exons separated by introns of only 189 and 95 bp, and covers less than 1 kb. Localization of the human gene for macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) to chromosome 22q11.2 MIF plays a critical role in inflammatory diseases and atherogenesis.

Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl and 0.2mg Na2HPO4.

Add 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug/ml.

Immunology, Innate Immunity, Macrophage/Inflammation

Pro-inflammatory cytokine. Involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. Counteracts the anti- inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. Has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity (in vitro), but the physiological substrate is not known. It is not clear whether the tautomerase activity has any physiological relevance, and whether it is important for cytokine activity.

Boster Bio Anti-MIF Antibody catalog # PA1052. Tested in Flow Cytometry, IHC, WB applications. This antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat.

Belongs to the MIF family.
