Related Product Information for anti-BIRC7 antibody
This antibody recognizes Livin, both isoform alpha and isoform beta. Human Livin isoform alpha is a 298 amino acid protein. Livin (BIRC7/KIAP) is a member of the family of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAP) and contains a single copy of a baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) as well as a RING-type zinc finger domain. Some IAP members, like Liven, also have a RING-type finger motif at their carboxyl-terminal which may enhance anti-apoptotic activity. Many RING finger-containing IAPs possess E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, and it has been shown that Liven acts an E3 ubiquitin ligase for targeting the degradation of Smac/DIABLO. Thus degradation of Smac/DIABLO is thought to be a mechanism to enhance Livin anti-apoptotic activity, thereby promoting cell survival. Two splicing variants of Livin, alpha and beta, have been identified. The two isoforms are thought to have different anti-apoptotic properties; however, there are conflicting reports are to whether they actually differ in their biological activities. Liven is expressed at low levels in adult tissues, and relatively higher levels in developmental tissues and in many cancer cells. Certain cancers patients develop autoantibodies against liven and in a number of cancers, Liven is detected only in the tumors but not, or to substantially lower levels, in the corresponding normal adjacent tissue.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family, and contains a single copy of a baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) as well as a RING-type zinc finger domain. The BIR domain is essential for inhibitory activity and interacts with caspases, while the RING finger domain sometimes enhances antiapoptotic activity but does not inhibit apoptosis alone. Elevated levels of the encoded protein may be associated with cancer progression and play a role in chemotherapy sensitivity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Uniprot Description

BIRC7: Apoptotic regulator capable of exerting proapoptotic and anti-apoptotic activities and plays crucial roles in apoptosis, cell proliferation, and cell cycle control. Its anti-apoptotic activity is mediated through the inhibition of CASP3, CASP7 and CASP9, as well as by its E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. As it is a weak caspase inhibitor, its anti-apoptotic activity is thought to be due to its ability to ubiquitinate DIABLO/SMAC targeting it for degradation thereby promoting cell survival. May contribute to caspase inhibition, by blocking the ability of DIABLO/SMAC to disrupt XIAP/BIRC4-caspase interactions. Protects against apoptosis induced by TNF or by chemical agents such as adriamycin, etoposide or staurosporine. Suppression of apoptosis is mediated by activation of MAPK8/JNK1, and possibly also of MAPK9/JNK2. This activation depends on TAB1 and NR2C2/TAK1. In vitro, inhibits CASP3 and proteolytic activation of pro-CASP9. Isoform 1 blocks staurosporine-induced apoptosis. Isoform 2 blocks etoposide-induced apoptosis. Isoform 2 protects against natural killer (NK) cell killing whereas isoform 1 augments killing. Binds to CASP9. Interaction with DIABLO/SMAC via the BIR domain disrupts binding to CASP9 and apoptotic suppressor activity. Interacts with TAB1. In vitro, interacts with CASP3 and CASP7 via its BIR domain. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed at very low levels or not detectable in most adult tissues. Detected in adult heart, placenta, lung, lymph node, spleen and ovary, and in several carcinoma cell lines. Isoform 2 is detected in fetal kidney, heart and spleen, and at lower levels in adult brain, skeletal muscle and peripheral blood leukocytes. Belongs to the IAP family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes

The BIRC7 birc7 (Catalog #AAA668703) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Polyclonal Antibody to Livin (KIAP) reacts with Rat, Mouse, Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Livin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin/Paraffin, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1: 1000-1: 2000 IHC (paraffin): 1: 1000-1: 5000 IP: 1: 50-1: 200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the BIRC7 birc7 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Livin, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.
