Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the IAP family of proteins that inhibit apoptosis by binding to tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors TRAF1 and TRAF2, probably by interfering with activation of ICE-like proteases. The encoded protein inhibits apoptosis induced by serum deprivation but does not affect apoptosis resulting from exposure to menadione, a potent inducer of free radicals. It contains 3 baculovirus IAP repeats and a ring finger domain. Transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Staining summary

Moderate to strong nuclear positivity was observed in reaction centra of lymphoid tissues, cells in seminiferous ducts, basal cells in squamous epithelia, bone marrow and trophoblastic cells. Renal tubules and the intestine showed moderate cytoplasmic staining. Other normal tissues were in general weakly stained or negative.
