Rat Interferon Gamma, IFN-G ELISA Kit, 96T Enzymes & Activity Assays The encoded protein is also

The encoded protein is also capable of removing the C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1) from proteins in the peroxisomal matrix

Also acts as a serine protease inhibitor: negatively regulates Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) by suppressing MMP9 secretion and by direct inhibition of its enzymatic activity (PubMed: 9789069

The somatic form is expressed in all mitotic cells

Monothiol glutaredoxin involved in mitochondrial iron-sulfur (Fe/S) cluster transfer (PubMed: 20364084

It is also cleaved by caspase-3 in vitro

Rat Interferon Gamma, IFN-G ELISA Kit, 96T Enzymes & Activity Assays The encoded protein is alsoProduced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens. IFN gamma, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions. It is a potent activator of macrophages, it has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons.
