Description
The polyclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse, and rat Smac/DIABLO; the antibody was raised against a peptide (eeraeseqeaylred) corresponding to amino acids 225 to 239 of human Smac/DIABLO (1). The inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) regulate programmed cell death by inhibiting members of the caspase family of enzymes. A novel mammalian protein that binds to IAPs and neutralizes the inhibitory effect of IAPs on caspases was recently identified and designated Smac/DIABLO (1,2). Smac/DIABLO is a mitochondrial protein that is released along with cytochrome c during apoptosis and activates cytochrome c/Apaf-1/capase-9 pathway. Analysis of the structural basis of Smac/DIABLO reveals that the N-terminal amino acids are required for binding of Smac/DIABLO to IAPs and activation of caspases (3-6). Smac/DIABLO is expressed in a variety of human and mouse tissues (1,2).
Usage
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This polyclonal antibody has been reported for use in immunoblotting (WB).
Applications Tested
This polyclonal antibody can be used for detection of Smac/DIABLO by Western blot at 0.5 to 1 µg/ml. Human heart tissue lysate can be used as positive control and a 25 kDa band can be detected. It is human, mouse, and rat reactive.
