'Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an essential regulator of the macrophage responses to endotoxin. MIF also has the ability to override the anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids during an immune response, and is thus an important pro-inflammatory factor. The presence of MIF in cells of the anterior pituitary has been ... More
Jun activation domain-binding protein 1 expression in breast cancer inversely correlates with the cell cycle inhibitor p27(Kip1).
'The Jun activation domain-binding protein 1 (JAB1), aside from being an activator protein 1 coactivator, is involved in degradation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27. We examined JAB1 and p27 protein expression in invasive breast carcinoma specimens and the association of this expression with clinical outcome. JAB1 was detected immunohistochemically ... More
