Human Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor,MIF ELISA Kit

MIF是一种促炎症因子，全名为迁移抑制因子。它参与免疫反应、炎症反应、细胞增殖等多种生理过程，在多种疾病的发生和发展中发挥重要作用。最近的研究表明，MIF与肿瘤、炎症性疾病、自身免疫性疾病等多种疾病的发生和发展密切相关，

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 and dopachrome tautomerase activity (in vitro), but the physiological substrate is not known. It is not clear whether the tautomerase activity has any physiological relevance, and whether it is important for cytokine activity.
