AIFM2 (CT) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

AIFM2 Antibody: AIFM2 blocks ferroptosis independent of ubiquinol metabolism. AIFM2 is a key component of a non-mitochondrial CoQ antioxidant system that acts in parallel to the canonical glutathione-based GPX4 pathway. AIFM2 confers protection against ferroptosis elicited by GPX4 deletion. AIF-2 was found to be upregulated in human glioma tissues and cell lines. Downregulation of AIF-2 reduced cell proliferation and induced G1 cell cycle arrest. AIF and its family member protein, AMID, are rotenone-sensitive NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductases (of the NDH-2 type) . AIF-M2 lessens survival cell signaling in the presence of foreign (e.g. bacterial and (retro) viral) cytosolic DNA, thus contributing to the onset of apoptosis
