Anti-AIF antibody - Mitochondrial Marker,Abcam,AB1998

Target data Functions both as NADH oxidoreductase and as regulator of apoptosis (PubMed : 17094969, PubMed : 20362274, PubMed : 23217327, PubMed : 33168626). In response to apoptotic stimuli, it is released from the mitochondrion intermembrane space into the cytosol and to the nucleus, where it functions as a proapoptotic factor in a caspase-independent pathway (PubMed : 20362274). Release into the cytoplasm is mediated upon binding to poly-ADP-ribose chains (By similarity). The soluble form (AIFsol) found in the nucleus induces 'parthanatos' i.e. caspase-independent fragmentation of chromosomal DNA (PubMed : 20362274). Binds to DNA in a sequence-independent manner (PubMed : 27178839). Interacts with EIF3G, and thereby inhibits the EIF3 machinery and protein synthesis, and activates caspase-7 to amplify apoptosis (PubMed : 17094969). Plays a critical role in caspase-independent, pyknotic cell death in hydrogen peroxide-exposed cells (PubMed : 19418225). In contrast, participates in normal mitochondrial metabolism. Plays an important role in the regulation of respiratory chain biogenesis by interacting with CHCHD4 and controlling CHCHD4 mitochondrial import (PubMed : 26004228).. Isoform 4. Has NADH oxidoreductase activity. Does not induce nuclear apoptosis.. Isoform 5. Pro-apoptotic isoform. See full target information AIFM1
