Description
XAF1 Antibody (C-term) [APR04644G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution
Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies
Host: Rabbit
Species Reactivity: H
Specificity: This XAF1 antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 235-269 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human XAF1.
Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Mitochondrion. Note=Found in the cytoplasm and nucleus of placental syncytiotrophoblasts Translocates to mitochondria upon TNF-alpha treatment [Isoform 5]: Nucleus.
Molecular Weight: 34626
Clone: Polyclonal
Gene Name: XAF1
Gene ID: 54739
Function: Seems to function as a negative regulator of members of the IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis protein) family. Inhibits anti-caspase activity of BIRC4. Induces cleavage and inactivation of BIRC4 independent of caspase activation. Mediates TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis and is involved in apoptosis in trophoblast cells. May inhibit BIRC4 indirectly by activating the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. After translocation to mitochondria, promotes translocation of BAX to mitochondria and cytochrome c release from mitochondria. Seems to promote the redistribution of BIRC4 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, probably independent of BIRC4 inactivation which seems to occur in the cytoplasm. The BIRC4-XAF1 complex mediates down-regulation of BIRC5/survivin; the process requires the E3 ligase activity of BIRC4. Seems to be involved in cellular sensitivity to the proapoptotic actions of TRAIL. May be a tumor suppressor by mediating apoptosis resistance of cancer cells.
Summary: Tissue Location: Widely expressed. Expression is frequently down- regulated in cancer cell lines. Isoform 5 is widely expressed Expressed in placenta (at protein level) .
