|---|---|
| Target Name | XIAP |
| Gene Abbr. | XIAP |
| Gene ID | 331 |
| Full Name | X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis |
| Alias | API3, BIRC4, IAP-3, ILP1, MIHA |
| Introduction | The inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family consists of an evolutionarily conserved group of apoptosis inhibitors containing a conserved 70 amino acid BIR (baculovirus inhibitor repeat) domain. Human members of this family include c-IAP1, c-IAP2, XIAP, survivin, livin, and NAIP. Overexpression of IAP family members, particularly survivin and livin, in cancer cell lines and primary tumors suggests an important role for these proteins in cancer progression. In general, the IAP proteins function through direct interactions to inhibit the activity of several caspases, including caspase-3, caspase-7, and caspase-9. In addition, binding of IAP family members to the mitochondrial protein Smac blocks their interaction with caspase-9, thereby allowing the processing and activation of the caspase. |

| Host | Rabbit |
| Clonality | Polyclonal |
| Clone No. | N/A |
| Isotype | IgG |
| Immunogen | Recombinant BIR2 domain protein fragment of human XIAP was used as immunogen. The BIR2 domain used for immunogen corresponds to amino acids 163-230 of human XIAP (Deveraux et al, 1999). |
| Usage | |
|---|---|
| Application | WB, IHC, IP |
| Dilutions | Western Blot (1:1000-1:2000); Immunoprecipitation (1:50-1:200) |
| MW(KDa) | 53 |
| Reactivity | Human, Rat |
| Specificity | The antibody recognizes epitopes in the BIR2 domain of XIAP. Therefore it can recognize full-length XIAP and XIAP cleavage fragments containing the BIR2 domain. However, XIAP cleavage fragments may be biologically unstable, and therefore cleavage fragments may be difficult to detect. |
