MIF Protein, Mouse (His)

The MIF protein is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role in the innate immune response against bacterial pathogens. Its presence at sites of inflammation suggests its role as a mediator in the regulation of macrophage function during host defense. MIF Protein, Mouse (His) is the recombinant mouse-derived MIF protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-6*His labeled tag. The total length of MIF Protein, Mouse (His) is 114 a.a., with molecular weight of 10-14 kDa.

MIF Protein, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a crucial role in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. Its expression at inflammatory sites suggests its involvement as a mediator in regulating macrophage function during host defense. Notably, MIF counters the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. While it exhibits phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activities in vitro, the physiological substrate remains unknown. The significance of its tautomerase activity and its relevance to cytokine function remain unclear.
