c-IAP2 (58C7) Rabbit mAb #3130

Applications Reactivity Sensitivity MW (kDa) Isotype
W IP H (Mk) Endogenous 70 Rabbit IgG

Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IP=Immunoprecipitation
Reactivity Key:  H=Human  Mk=Monkey
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

c-IAP2 (58C7) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total c-IAP2 protein. No cross reactivity was detected with other family members.

Source / Purification

Rabbit monoclonal antibodies were prepared from spleens of rabbits immunized with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Asp104 of human c-IAP2.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from Raji, Ramos and SR cell lines, using c-IAP2 (58C7) Rabbit mAb.

Background

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 (1,2). Human members of the family include c-IAP1, c-IAP2, XIAP, Surivivin, Livin and NAIP. Overexpression of IAP family members, particularly Survivin and Livin, in cancer cell lines and primary tumors suggest an important role for these proteins in cancer progression (3-5). In general, the IAP proteins function through direct interactions to inhibit the activity of several caspases, including caspase-3, caspase-7 and caspase-9 (5,6). In addition, binding of IAP family members to the mitochondrial protein Smac blocks its interaction with caspase-9, thereby allowing the processing and activation of the caspase (7).
