APPLICATION
Application Note
The peptide is used for blocking the antibody activity of anti-Livin (cat. no GTX25393). It usually blocks the antibody activity completely in Western blot by incubating the peptide with equal volume of antibody for 30 min at 37ºC.

Background
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is related to many diseases, such as cancer. Apoptosis is triggered by a variety of stimuli including members in the TNF family and prevented by the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins. IAP proteins form a conserved gene family that binds to and inhibits cell death proteases. A novel member in the IAP protein family was recently identified and designated Livin and KIAP for kidney IAP. Livin / XIAP contains a single baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) domain and a RING finger domain and has two isoforms termed Livin alpha and Livin beta. Transfection of Livin in cells resulted in protection from apoptosis induced by FADD, BAX, RIP, RIP 3 and DR6. Livin has direct interaction with several caspases including caspase 3, 7, and 9. Livin inhibits the activation of caspase 9 induced by Apaf 1, cytochrome c, and dATP. The two isoforms of Livin appear to have different functions and tissue distributions.
