Baculoviral IAP Repeat-Containing 7 Human (Recombinant)

Synonyms

Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 7, KIAP, MLIAP, RNF50, ML-IAP, LIVIN, Kidney inhibitor of apoptosis protein, Melanoma inhibitor of apoptosis protein, RING finger protein 50, BIRC7.

BIRC7 is a part 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 necessary for inhibitory activity & cooperates with caspases, while the RING finger domain sometimes increases anti-apoptotic activity but doesn’t inhibit apoptosis by itself. 2 transcript variants encoding diverse isoforms have been found for this gene. The 2 isoforms have dissimilar antiapoptotic characteristics, with isoform ? protecting cells from apoptosis induced by staurosporine and isoform b defending cells from apoptosis induced by etoposide. BIRC7 has direct contact with several caspases together with caspase-3, caspase-7, & caspase –9. BIRC7 inhibits the activation of caspase-9 induced by Apaf-1, cytochrome c, and dATP.

Description

BIRC7 Human Recombinant fused to N-terminal His-Tag produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 318 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 34 kDa.

Source

Escherichia coli

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

Formulation

The BIRC7 solution contains 20mM Tris pH-8, 1mM DTT, 0.1M NaCl, 2mM EDTA and 20% glycerol.

Stability

BIRC7 although stable 4°C for 4 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
