MIF Protein, Human (His, solution)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The MIF protein is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is critical for the innate immune response against bacterial pathogens. Its presence at sites of inflammation suggests a role in modulating macrophage function to promote host defense. MIF Protein, Human (His) MIF Protein, Human (His, solution) is the recombinant human-derived MIF protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The MIF protein is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is critical for the innate immune response against bacterial pathogens. Its presence at sites of inflammation suggests a role in modulating macrophage function to promote host defense. MIF Protein, Human (His) MIF Protein, Human (His, solution) is the recombinant human-derived MIF protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

MIF Protein is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role in the innate immune response against bacterial pathogens. Its expression at sites of inflammation suggests its involvement in regulating macrophage function in host defense. MIF counteracts the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids. Although MIF has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity in vitro, the physiological substrate of MIF is still unknown. It remains unclear whether the tautomerase activity is relevant to its cytokine activity.

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to inhibit THP-1 cells migration. The ED50 for this effect is 25.31 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 3.951×104 U/mg.
