About MIF

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; intramolecular oxidoreductase activity; and receptor ligand activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of transport; response to steroid hormone; and response to vitamin. Located in cytoplasm; extracellular space; and nucleus. Used to study several diseases, including acute necrotizing pancreatitis; cardiomyopathy (multiple); lung disease (multiple); retinitis; and toxic shock syndrome. Biomarker of borna disease; cystitis; kidney disease; myocardial infarction; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in allergic disease; asthma; cystic fibrosis; lung disease (multiple); and obesity. Orthologous to human MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor).
