ALG-2-interacting protein (Alix), also designated programmed cell death 6-interacting protein (PDCD6-interacting protein), is a cytoplasmic protein. Alix interacts with apoptosis-associated proteins (ALG-2 and PDCD6) and with the endocytosis-regulator CIN85. Additionally, Alix interacts with the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) proteins (Tsg101 and CHMP4) and can associate with HIV-1. The endophilins (SH3P4, SH3P8 and SH3P13), enzymes that change curvature of the membrane that are required for early and late steps of coated vesicle formation, also bind to Alix. Alix is involved in the concentration and sorting of cargo proteins of the multivesicular body for incorporation into vesicles.
