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...

Protein function: Pro-inflammatory cytokine. Involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. Counteracts the anti- inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. Has...

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine with chemokine-like functions that increasingly is being studied in different aspects of cardiovascular disease. MIF was first identified as a proinflammatory and pro-survival mediator within the immune system, and a second structurally related...

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine, existing as a homotrimer in vivo. MIF was originally identified as a T cell derived factor responsible for the inhibition of macrophage migration. However, recently MIF has received much more attention because of its possible roles in...

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF or MMIF), also named as glycosylation-inhibiting factor (GIF), L-dopachrome isomerase, or phenylpyruvate tautomerase, is a protein encoded by the MIF gene. It is released from white blood cells by bacterial antigen stimulation to trigger an acute immune response, or by...

Protein function: Pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens (PubMed:15908412, PubMed:17443469, PubMed:23776208). The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense (PubMed:15908412,...

Pro-inflammatory cytokine. Involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. Counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. Has phenylpyruvate tautomerase...

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a regulator of inflammation that also has roles in cancer and autoimmune diseases. MIF exhibits both tautomerase and oxidoreductase activities, although how these are linked to MIF's physiological and pathophysiological actions is unclear. MIF antagonist, also known as...

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a small, pro-inflammatory cytokine. MIF signaling is important in septic shock, arthritis, colitis, and cardiovascular diseases. MIF counteracts glucocorticoid signaling, which would otherwise inhibit inflammation. Secreted MIF binds to CD74 receptors, which then...

Pro-inflammatory cytokine. Involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. Counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. Has phenylpyruvate tautomerase...

4-IPP is an inhibitor of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). It acts as a suicide substrate for MIF, leading to covalent modification of the N-terminal proline required for activation of its catalytic activity. 4-IPP (10 and 100 µM) inhibits the migration and anchorage-independent growth of A549 non-small...

MIF mouse recombinant produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 115 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 12.5 kDa. The cytokine Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been identified to be secreted by the pituitary gland and the monocyte/macrophage and to play an...
