We investigated the association between macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) rs1007888 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and the genetic susceptibility to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). A total of 240 GDM pregnant women (GDM group) and 330 healthy pregnant women (control group) were included in the study.

Cloning, characterization, and expression of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene from the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeidae)

D. G. Zeng, Lei, A. Y., and Chen, X. H., Cloning, characterization, and expression of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor gene from the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeidae), vol. 12, pp. 5872-5879, 2013.

The macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an important proinflammatory cytokine that mediates both innate and adaptive immune responses. In this study, we identified a homolog of MIF in the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. The MIF cDNA contained a 363-bp open reading frame encoding a 120-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 13.442 kDa and a theoretical isoelectric point of 6.57. The L. vannamei MIF shared high amino acid identity with MIFs of other invertebrates.
