AIFM3 Antibody: AIFL, AIFL, Apoptosis-inducing factor 3, Apoptosis-inducing factor-like protein
Product description
AIFM3 Antibody: Apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, plays major roles in development and normal tissue turnover in addition to tumor formation. Recently a protein similar to the apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) was cloned and designated AIFL (also known as AIFM3). AIFM3 is expressed ubiquitously and is predominantly localized to the inner membranes of mitochondria. Unlike AIF, AIFM3 does not translocate to the nucleus upon induction of apoptosis. However, overexpression of AIFM3, like AIF, induced cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, cleavage of caspase 3, and ultimately apoptosis, indicating AIFM3 induces apoptosis through caspase activation. Multiple isoforms of AIFM3 are known to exist.1) Jin Z and El Deiry WS. Overview of cell death signaling pathways. Cancer Biol. Ther.2004; 4:139-63
Immunogen
AIFM3 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the center of human AIFM3. The immunogen is located within amino acids 210 - 260 of AIFM3.
