NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
One of the three proteins composing the anthrax toxin, the agent which infects many mammalian species and that may cause death. LF is the lethal factor that, when associated with PA, causes death. LF is not toxic by itself. It is a protease that cleaves the N-terminal of most dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs or MAP2Ks) (except for MAP2K5). Cleavage invariably occurs within the N-terminal proline-rich region preceding the kinase domain, thus disrupting a sequence involved in directing specific protein-protein interactions necessary for the assembly of signaling complexes. There may be other cytosolic targets of LF involved in cytotoxicity. The proteasome may mediate a toxic process initiated by LF in the cell cytosol involving degradation of unidentified molecules that are essential for macrophage homeostasis. This is an early step in LeTx intoxication, but it is downstream of the cleavage by LF of MEK1 or other putative substrates. Also cleaves mouse Nlrp1b allele 1, leading to NLRP1 inflammasome activation, IL1B release and eventually host inflammatory response (PubMed:19651869).

Product Notes
The LF; ALF lef (Catalog #AAA565001) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anthrax Lethal Factor monoclonal antibody (LF2) reacts with Bacillus anthracis and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Anthrax Lethal Factor can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the LF; ALF lef for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Anthrax Lethal Factor, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
