General description

Apoptosis-Inducing Factor (AIF) is a mitochondrial flavoprotein that can induce apoptosis in isolated nuclei. Studies have reported that AIF can induce the realease of cytochrome c and caspase 9. Bcl-2 is known to inhibit AIF release without affecting its apoptotic functions.
Rabbit Anti-AIF antibody recognizes human and mouse AIF (57kDa). Staining of AIF in immunoblotting is specifically inhibited with the AIF immunizing peptide (human, amino acids 593-613).
Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome X (Xq25-Xq26). It is a 57 kDa mitochondrial flavoprotein. AIF contains two mitochondrial localization sequences and two putative nuclear localization sequences.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human Apoptosis Inducing Factor (AIF), (amino acids 593-613), conjugated to KLH.

Application

Protein lysates from 2CLL, 10 MCl and Jeko-1 cells were analyzed by western blot using anti-AIF as the primary antibody. Cells also underwent intracellular delivery by being transfected with anti-AIF at a final dilution of 1:2500 and then analyzed by FLOW cytometry.
Rabbit Anti-Apoptosis-Inducing Factor (AIF) antibody has been used for immunoblot analysis at 1:1000 and 1:2000 dilutions. The antibody can also be used for microarray applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Microinjection of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) into the cytoplasm of intact cells induces chromatin condensation, dissipation of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential and exposure of phosphatidylserine in the plasma membrane.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
