Product Pathways - Apoptosis / Autophagy
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.
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).
