Human Survivin ELISA Kit | BIRC5 elisa kit
Human Survivin PicoKine ELISA Kit
Background: Survivin (also termed API4) belongs to the family of genes known as inhibitors of apoptosis, and it has been implicated in both prevention of cell death and control of mitosis. Survivin is prominently expressed in transformed cell lines and in all the most common human cancers of lung, colon, pancreas, prostate and breast in vivo. It is also found in approximately 50% of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Survivin encodes a deduced 142-amino acid protein and localizes on chromosome 17q25. The overexpression of it in cancer may overcome an apoptotic checkpoint and favour aberrant progression of transformed cells through mitosis. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human Survivin with the molecular mass of 34 KDa.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene is a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) gene family, which encode negative regulatory proteins that prevent apoptotic cell death. IAP family members usually contain multiple baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) domains, but this gene encodes proteins with only a single BIR domain. The encoded proteins also lack a C-terminus RING finger domain. Gene expression is high during fetal development and in most tumors, yet low in adult tissues. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
Uniprot Description
Survivin: an apoptosis inhibitor that is expressed during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Associates with the microtubules of the mitotic spindle and any disruption results in the loss of apoptosis activity. May play a role in neoplasia. Inhibitor of caspase-3 and caspase-7. Two splice variant isoforms have been described.

Product Notes
The Human BIRC5 birc5 (Catalog #AAA175902) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA175902 ELISA Kit recognizes Human BIRC5. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Survivin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
