MIF binds its cognate receptor (a CD74\/CD44 complex) to activate multiple signaling pathways such as Src, ERK, MAPK, Akt, and suppress p53-induced apoptosis (2). The interaction of MIF with non-cognate chemokine receptors CXCR2 and CXCR4 promotes chemotaxis that enables recruitment of monocytes\/neutrophils and T cells (3). During an innate immune response, MIF has been shown to repress the inhibitory effects of glucocorticoids on macrophages and T cells, thus promoting host inflammation and immunity (4). MIF may also play roles in the progression of other disease processes, including cancer cell proliferation and metastasis, and angiogenesis (5), atherosclerotic plaque formation following myocardial ischemia (6), and autoimmune pathogenesis (7). MIF has thus been proposed as a promising therapeutic drug target for multiple indications.\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nepididymis secretory sperm binding protein; GIF; GLIF; Glycosylation-inhibiting factor; L-dopachrome isomerase; L-dopachrome tautomerase; Macrophage migration inhibitory factor; macrophage migration inhibitory factor (glycosylation-inhibiting factor); MIF; MMIF; Phenylpyruvate tautomerase\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Hm\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 12\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799890612393,"sku":"75038S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-75038s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
