Anti-BIRC2/IAP-2, clone 1E1-1-10 Antibody

BRC2/IAP-2, also known as IAP homolog B, Inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 and Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 2, and encoded by the gene BIRC2/API1/IAP2/MIHB/ RNF48, is a multi-functional protein which regulates not only caspases and apoptosis, but also modulates inflammatory signaling and immunity, mitogenic kinase signaling, and cell proliferation, as well as cell invasion and metastasis. BIRC2/IAP-2 also acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase regulating NF-kappa-B signaling and regulates both canonical and non-canonical pathways. Additionally, BIRC2/IAP-2 acts as an important regulator of innate immune signaling, and finally, BIRC2/IAP-2 plays an important role in the modulation of the cell cycle. BIRC2/IAP-21 is localized to nucleus except during apoptotic events. BIRC2/IAP-2 is expressed in fetal and adult tissues with a strong emphasis found in adult skeletal muscle, thymus, testis, ovary and pancreas with low or absent expression in blood and brain.

Epitope: This antibody recognizes the BIR 2 repeat region of BIRC2/IAP-2.

Linear peptide corresponding to the BIR 2 repeat region of mouse BIRC2/IAP-2.
