| Description |
LITAF Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 181 amino acids (1-161) and having a molecular mass of 19.2 kDa. LITAF is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor (LITAF) is a small integral membrane protein of lysosome/late endosome. The expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha in Lipopolysaccharide-induced processes is mediated by LITAF. LITAF connects to STAT6B, which belongs to the STAT6 family forming a complex on the TNF-alpha promoter that modifies TNF activity. High levels of expression of LITAF mRNA are observed mostly in the placenta, peripheral blood leukocytes, lymph nodes and spleen. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor, PIG7, SIMPLE, Lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha factor, LPS-induced TNF-alpha factor, p53-induced gene 7 protein, Small integral membrane protein of lysosome/late endosome, LITAF. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
