XAF-1 antibody can be used for the detection of XAF-1 by Western blot at 0.5 to 2 mug/mL. A 32 kDa band can be detected. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2 mug/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 10 mug/mL.
other info1 :
Conjugate: Unconjugated. Immunogen: XAF-1 antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids at the C-terminus of human XAF-1. Buffer: XAF-1 Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
products description :
XAF-1 Antibody: XAF-1 binds to XIAP, an inhibitor of caspases-3, -7, and -9, and triggers its relocation from the cytosol to the nucleus. Overexpression of XAF-1 results in the neutralization of XIAP's ability to inhibit cell death. XAF-1 is normally expressed in all adult and fetal tissues but was found to be present in very low levels in a variety of cancer cell lines. In contrast, XIAP levels have been shown to be high in a majority of cell lines. Low XAF-1 and high basal expression of XIAP may therefore play a critical role in maintaining survival of cancer cell lines. Both IFN-alpha2 and IFN-beta can induce XAF-1 mRNA in all cells examined but induction of XAF-1 protein (as observed by immunoblot analysis) was seen only in cell lines sensitive to the apoptotic effects of IFNs.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a protein which binds to and counteracts the inhibitory effect of a member of the IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) protein family. IAP proteins bind to and inhibit caspases which are activated during apoptosis. The proportion of IAPs and proteins which interfere with their activity, such as the encoded protein, affect the progress of the apoptosis signaling pathway. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
