Protocol Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) Specificity / Sensitivity Smac/Diablo (D5S3R) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human Smac/Diablo protein. Background Smac/Diablo is a 21 kDa mammalian mitochondrial protein that functions as a regulatory component during apoptosis (1,2). Upon mitochondrial stress, Smac/Diablo is released from mitochondria and competes with caspases for binding of IAPs (inhibitor of apoptosis proteins) (1,2). The interaction of Smac/Diablo with IAPs relieves the inhibitory effect of the IAPs on caspases (3,4). This interaction involves mainly the amino-terminal residues of Smac/Diablo with the BIR3 region of XIAP, supplemented with several other hydrophobic interactions between the helical structures of Smac/Diablo and other areas of BIR3 (5,6).
