Recombinant Human Baculoviral

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 a 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.

BIRC7 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 304 amino acids (1-280 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 33.4kDa.
BIRC7 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
