Alternative names:

GIF;GLIF;MMIF

Description:

Recombinant human MIF protein with C-terminal hFc tag

Background:

This gene encodes a lymphokine involved in cell-mediated immunity, immunoregulation, and inflammation. It plays a role in the regulation of macrophage function in host defense through the suppression of anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids. This lymphokine and the JAB1 protein form a complex in the cytosol near the peripheral plasma membrane, which may indicate an additional role in integrin signaling pathways.

Molecular characterization:

MIF(Pro2-Ala115) hFc(Glu99-Ala330)

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 38.5 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of MIF-hFc is approximately 35-55 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

C-Human Fc Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

MIF

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
