Smac (mouse-CT)

Anti-Smac (mouse CT) Antibody

ORDERING INFORMATION

Catalog No.: 1411
Size: 100ug IgG in PBS, pH 7.4, purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.

BACKGROUND

Inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) regulate programmed cell death by inhibiting members of the caspase family of enzymes. A novel mammalian protein that binds to IAPs and neutralizes the inhibitory effect of IAPs on caspases has been identified and designated Smac/DIABLO. Smac is a mitochondrial protein that is released along with cytochrome c during apoptosis and activates the cytochrome c/Apaf- 1/caspase-9 pathway. The N-terminal amino acids of Smac are required for binding to IAPs and for activation of caspases. Smac is expressed in a variety of human and mouse tissues.
