Background

Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF, also known as programmed cell death protein 8) is a 58 kDa member of the FAD-dependent oxidoreductase family of molecules. It is ubiquitously expressed and found in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. AIF likely acts as a mitochondrial antioxidant providing protection via NADH oxidase activity. Upon release from the mitochondria, AIF passes into the nucleus where it initiates apoptosis. Human AIF precursor is 67 kDa in size and 613 amino acids (aa) in length and contains a cleavable N-terminal 102 aa mitochondrial localization sequence, followed by a spacer region (aa 103‑129) and an oxidoreductase domain (aa 130‑613) that possesses an NLS (aa 446‑451). Over aa 121‑613, human AIF shares 95% aa identity with mouse AIF.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
