Description
Description: LITAF Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 181 amino acids (1-161) and having a molecular mass of 19.2 kDa. LITAF is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: Lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor (LITAF) is a small integral membrane protein of lysosome/late endosome. The expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha in Lipopolysaccharide-induced processes is mediated by LITAF. LITAF connects to STAT6B, which belongs to the STAT6 family forming a complex on the TNF-alpha promoter that modifies TNF activity. High levels of expression of LITAF mRNA are observed mostly in the placenta, peripheral blood leukocytes, lymph nodes and spleen
