Description
Our AIFM1 (Ser-116) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human AIFM1 (Ser-116) and is antigen affinity purified. It is great for use in WB. - Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIFM1, AIF, PDCD8) is a ubiquitously expressed flavoprotein that plays a critical role in caspase-independent apoptosis. AIFM1 is expressed as a 66 kDa precursor protein before being N-terminally cleaved to 62 kDa and localized to the mitochondrial intermembrane space. In response to apoptotic stimuli, AIFM1 is released from the mitochondrial intermembrane as a 57 kDa fragment that can translocate to the nucleus. Treatment of isolated nuclei with recombinant AIFM1 leads to early apoptotic events, such as chromatin condensation and large-scale DNA fragmentation. Studies of AIFM1 knockout mice have shown that the apoptotic activity of AIFM1 is cell type and stimuli-dependent. AIFM1 has been implicated in oxeiptosis, a non-inflammatory, caspase independent cell death pathway caused by oxidative stress. During oxeiptosis, increased reactive oxygen species cause the release of the phosphatase PGAM5 from KEAP1 leading to dephosphorylation of AIFM1 (Ser-116) and subsequent cell death. Thus, AIFM1 phosphorylation status at Ser-116 may be an important marker for cell death involving oxeiptosis. -
