AHP1340 detects human Ring Finger homologous to Inhibitor of apoptosis protein (hRFI), an anti-apoptotic protein which has been shown to be a novel modulator of NF-kB activation, leading to the upregulation of Bcl2 and BclXL. It is also thought to possess E3 ubiquitin protein ligase activity and has been shown to target caspases 8 and 10 for proteasomal degradation.
hRFI is expressed ubiquitously, and has been localized to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. hRFI is also expressed in oesophageal, gastric and colorectal cancers, suggesting a possible association between hRFI and the development of digestive tract cancers.

Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human RFI were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
