MIF Protein, Human (N-His, C-Myc)
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 (N-His, C-Myc) is the recombinant human-derived MIF protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-Myc, N-10*His labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: E. coli

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 (N-His, C-Myc) is the recombinant human-derived MIF protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-Myc, N-10*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.
