Apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) is a mitochondrial inter-membrane flavoprotein that is ubiquitously expressed both in normal tissues and in a variety of cancer cell lines.
AIF is synthesized as a nonapoptogenic precursor in the cytoplasm and efficiently imported into the mitochondrial inter-membrane space.
Mature AIF protein is normally confined to the mitochondrial inter-membrane space.
In a variety of different apoptosis-inducing conditions AIF translocates through the outer mitochondrial membrane to the cytosol and to the nucleus.
Extra-mitochondrial AIF induces nuclear chromatin condensation and large scale (~50kb) DNA fragmentation.
