Description | Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase XIAP (XIAP) detection. Background: XIAP, also known as IAP3 or BIRC4, is a protein that stops apoptotic cell death. It is mapped to chromosome Xq25. This gene encodes a protein that belongs to a family of apoptotic suppressor proteins. Members of this family share a conserved motif termed, baculovirus IAP repeat, which is necessary for their anti-apoptotic function. This protein functions through binding to tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors TRAF1 and TRAF2 and inhibits apoptosis induced by menadione, a potent inducer of free radicals, and interleukin 1-beta converting enzyme. This protein also inhibits at least two members of the caspase family of cell-death prot |
