Rat Interferon Gamma, IFN-G ELISA Kit, 96T Enzymes & Activity Assays Also acts as a serine

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 product

Vesicle mediated protein sorting plays an important role in segregation of intracellular molecules into distinct organelles

It is also cleaved by caspase-3 in vitro

The somatic form is expressed in all mitotic cells

Rat Interferon Gamma, IFN-G ELISA Kit, 96T Enzymes & Activity Assays Also acts as a serineProduced 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.
