Beschreibung

General description

Livin, also known as “baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 7” (Birc7) and "KIAP," is a member of the IAP (inhibitors of apoptosis) family of proteins characterized by highly conserved baculoviral IAP repeats (BIR). In addition, Livin contains one RING-type zinc finger domain. Livin has been detected in the heart, placental, lung, lymph node, ovary, spleen, and in various types of solid tumors. It may suppress apoptosis induced by TNF, viral infection, drugs, and growth factor withdrawal, by inhibiting caspase activity (caspase 3, 7, and 9) and activating a MAPK/JUN pathway. Paradoxically, Livin may also function as a pro-apoptic factor in a truncated form (tLivin) that is cleaved by caspase 3 from the full-length protein. The pro-apoptotic effects of Livin may depend on its RING domain. Livin may play a role in non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

~39 kDa, ~32 kDa observed. Two isoforms at 32 kDa and 30 kDa are known to exist. This protein has been observed at ~39 kDa (alpha) and ~37 kDa (beta) due to post translational modification (Nachmias, B., et al. (2007). Apoptosis. 12(7):1129-1142.).
