Anti-Livin Antibody
ORDERING INFORMATION
Catalog No.: 11006
Size: 100ug IgG in PBS, pH 7.4, purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
BACKGROUND
Apoptosis is prevented by the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins. A novel member in the IAP protein family has been identified and designated Livin and KIAP for kidney IAP. Livin/KIAP contains a single baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) domain and a RING finger domain and has two isoforms termed Livin-a and Livin-b. Transfection of Livin in cells results in protection from apoptosis induced by FADD, BAX, RIP, RIP3 and DR6. Livin has direct interaction with several caspases including caspase-3, -7, and -9. Livin inhibits the activation of caspase-9 induced by Apaf- 1, cytochrome c, and dATP. The two isoforms of Livin appear to have different functions and tissue distributions.
