Background: Novel adaptor protein which mediates the activation of sphingomyelinase by receptors such as tumor necrosis factor receptor type 1 and CD40 and subsequent apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Inhibition of this factor may provide a novel intervention point for reducing ischemia/reperfusion injury.
Positive Control: Human testis, brain
Immunogen: Synthetic peptide derived from human NSMAF protein.
Purification Method: Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation
Concentration: See vial for concentration
Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide
