Description
Product Characteristics:
CIAPIN1 (Cytokine induced apoptosis inhibitor 1) expression is dependent on growth factor stimulation. Overexpression confers resistance to apoptosis caused by IL3 deprivation. It may be required during hematopoiesis to mediate antiapoptotic effects of various cytokines. It also confers multidrug resistance in gastric cancer cells by upregulating the expression of MDR1 and MRP1.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus
Synonyms: Anamorsin, CIAPIN 1, Cytokine induced apoptosis inhibitor 1, DRE2, CPIN1_HUMAN.
Target Information: CIAPIN1 is a cytokine-induced inhibitor of apoptosis with no relation to apoptosis regulatory molecules of the BCL2 (MIM 151430) or CASP (see MIM 147678) families. Expression of CIAPIN1 is dependent on growth factor stimulation (Shibayama et al., 2004 [PubMed 14970183]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
