Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of MIF in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: 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.
