Product Usage Information

Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation 1:50

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Siva-1 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total Siva-1 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with Siva-2. This antibody cross-reacts with a protein of unknown origin at ~70 kDa.

Species Reactivity:

Human

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro71 of human Siva-1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

First identified as a pro-apoptotic protein that binds the cytoplasmic tail of the TNF receptor superfamily member CD27 (1), Siva-1 also binds several other TNFR family members including glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR) and OX40 (1-3), as well as anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 (4,5). Siva-1 is composed of a central death domain homology region, a C-terminal box-B-like ring finger followed by a zinc finger-like domain, and a unique N-terminal amphipathic helical region (SAH) (1,4). Studies have demonstrated that Siva-1 has the ability to induce cell death via both the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways (1-8). The SAH domain of Siva-1 is responsible for the inhibition of the pro-survival activities of Bcl-xL and Bcl-2, leading to caspase-mediated cell death (4,5,8). Siva-1 plays a role in T cell signaling and homeostasis by inhibiting NF-κB activity, also resulting in apoptotic cell death (7,9). An alternative splice variant of Siva-1, Siva-2, lacks part of the SAH and death domains and is less effective at inducing apoptosis (1,2,5,8). Studies in xenografts have shown that down-regulation of Siva-1 inhibits tumorigenesis in response to p53 activation (10). Down-regulation of Siva-1 may also play a role in tumor metastasis through its regulation of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell migration (11). Overexpression of Siva-1 is implicated in several pathological conditions including acute ischemic injury (12) and Coxsackievirus infection (13).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
