Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 2 (BIRC2) concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of proteins that inhibits apoptosis by binding to tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors TRAF1 and TRAF2, probably by interfering with activation of ICE-like proteases. This encoded protein inhibits apoptosis induced by serum deprivation and menadione, a potent inducer of free radicals. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
