Anti-BIRC6 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein baculoviral IAP repeat containing 6. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 4857 amino acid residues and a mass of 530.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the Golgi and cytoplasm. It is reported to be expressed in the brain cancer cells. A member of the Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme protein family, BIRC6 is reported to be an anti-apoptotic protein, which can regulate cell death by controlling caspases and by acting as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Post-translational modifications have been described, including ubiquitination. Synonyms for this target antigen include BIR repeat-containing ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase BIRC6, ubiquitin-conjugating BIR-domain enzyme apollon, and baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 6. BIRC6 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of BIRC6 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Immunohistochemistry is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Western Blot are also common applications.
