NDFIP1 Antibody

NDFIP1 Antibody: The NEDD4 family-interacting protein 1 (NDFIP1) belongs to a small group of evolutionarily conserved proteins with three transmembrane domains and is an integral Golgi membrane protein. It is a potential target for ubiquitination by the Nedd4 family of proteins. NDFIP1 is strongly expressed in surviving neurons following acute cortical brain injury, and overexpression in cultured cortical neurons increased survival following growth factor starvation, suggesting that NDFIP1 may play a role in neuronal survival. NDFIP1 and the related protein NDFIP2 are thought to interact with and regulate multiple components of the EGF and PTEN/Akt signaling pathways. Recent studies suggest that NDFIP1 may also play a role in Th17 differentiation by limiting the production of proinflammatory cytokines.

NDFIP1 antibody can be stored at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
