AIF1 Protein, Mouse (His)

AIF1 Protein, Mouse (His) is an actin-polymerizing and Rac1-activating protein that promotes vascular smooth muscle cell migration.

Allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1), which is also known as ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), is a cytoplasmic protein with EF-hand calcium-binding domains and was first observed in the macrophages of rat heart allografts under chronic rejection. AIF-1 is highly expressed in the monocytic lineage, including macrophages and microglia, and is involved in phagocytosis and the formation of membrane ruffling through Rac1, which belongs to the Rho-family of GTPases. AIF-1 is not present in cultured human VSMCs but is induced by cytokines, and overexpression of AIF-1 results in increased VSMC growth and cell-cycle gene expression^[1][2].

Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm solution of PBS, 6% Trehalose, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O.

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
