Rabbit Anti-IFI35/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The Interferon family of proteins are able to alter the expression of a variety of target genes, thereby controlling various events within the cell. IFI-35 (Interferon-induced 35 kDa protein), also known as IFP35, is a 286 amino acid interferon-induced protein. Localized to the nucleus and expressed in macrophages, fibroblasts and epithelial cells, IFI-35 is a leucine zipper protein that can form homodimers, but, unlike most leucine zipper proteins, cannot bind DNA. Upon induction by IFN-? IFI-35 associates with Nmi (N-Myc-interacting protein), resulting in the formation of a high molecular weight complex that is thought to play a role in IFN-?signaling and cellular responses. Once complexed with Nmi, IFI-35 is unable to be degraded by the proteasome, suggesting that IFI-35 is protected from degradation only when needed by IFN-? Two isoforms of IFI-35 exist due to alternative splicing events.
