Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Specificity / Sensitivity Smac/Diablo (79-1-83) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of processed and unprocessed human Smac/Diablo. The antibody reacts weakly with mouse and rat Smac/Diablo. Species Reactivity: Human, Monkey Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a full length peptide corresponding to human Smac/Diablo raised in E-coli. 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).
