Biochem/physiol Actions

MIA2 is a secreted cytokine and a member of the MIA/OTOR family. Recombinant human MIA-2 is a 101 amino acid, 11.5 kDa protein comprising the MIA homologous N-terminal region of the full length MIA-2 protein.

General description

MIA2 is a secreted cytokine and a member of the MIA/OTOR family. Members of this family which also includes MIA, OTOR, and TANGO share a Src homology-3 (SH3)-like domain. MIA2 is predominantly expressed in hepatocytes. Elevated levels of MIA2 may represent a clinically useful marker for diagnosis of hepatic disease activity and severity. Recombinant human MIA-2 is a 101 amino acid, 11.5 kDa protein comprising the MIA homologous N-terminal region of the full length MIA-2 protein.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.5 + 0.5 mM DTT.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
