Anti-XIAP, NT (API3, Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 4, BIRC4, hILP, HILP, IAP3, IAP-like

BIRC4 is a member of a family of proteins which inhibit apoptosis through binding to tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors TRAF1 and TRAF2. Similar to API1, BIRC4 inhibits apoptosis induced by menadione, a potent inducer of free radicals, and ICE. BIRC4 also inhibits at least two members of the caspase family of cell-death proteases, caspase-3 and caspase-7. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry.
