Goat anti-BIRC6/Apollon Antibody
Western Blot: Preliminary experiments gave no signal but low background in Human Liver and Kidney lysates at up to 1ug/ml. However this used our routine western blotting protocol which we would not expect to reliably detect proteins as large as the predicted size of approx.555KDa according to NP_057336.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein with a BIR (baculoviral inhibition of apoptosis protein repeat) domain and a UBCc (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2, catalytic) domain. This protein inhibits apoptosis by facilitating the degradation of apoptotic proteins by ubiquitination. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
BIRC6: Anti-apoptotic protein which can regulate cell death by controlling caspases and by acting as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Has an unusual ubiquitin conjugation system in that it could combine in a single polypeptide, ubiquitin conjugating (E2) with ubiquitin ligase (E3) activity, forming a chimeric E2/E3 ubiquitin ligase. Its tragets include CASP9 and DIABLO/SMAC. Acts as an inhibitor of CASP3, CASP7 and CASP9. Important regulator for the final stages of cytokinesis. Crucial for normal vesicle targeting to the site of abscission, but also for the integrity of the midbody and the midbody ring, and its striking ubiquitin modification. Homodimer. Binds the activated, processed forms of CASP3, CASP6, CASP7 and CASP9. Interacts with RNF41, DIABLO/SMAC, HTRA2, KIF23/MKLP1, USP8/UBPY, BIRC5/survivin, MAP2K1/MEK1, RAB8A/RAB8, RAB11A/RAB11, PLK1, EXOC3/SEC6 and EXOC4/SEC8. Expressed in brain cancer cells. Inhibited by DIABLO/SMAC, HTRA2, CASP3, CASP6, CASP7 and CASP9.
