Programmed cell death 6-interacting protein (UniProt: Q9WU78; also known as ALG-2-interacting protein 1, ALG-2-interacting protein X, E2F1-inducible protein, Eig2) is encoded by the Pdcd6ip (also known as Aip1, Alix) gene (Gene ID: 18571) in murine species. AIP1 is a class E VPS cytoplasmic, ubiquitously expressed protein that is involved in concentration and sorting of cargo proteins of the multi-vesicular body (MVB) for incorporation into intra-lumenal vesicles (ILVs) that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome. AIP1 interacts with ALG-2 (apoptosis-linked gene-2) to regulate cell death. This interaction is strictly dependent on calcium. AIP1 is considered to be essential for the maintenance of fibroblast morphology and has been shown to play a role in the regulation of both apoptosis and cell proliferation. AIP1 is also known to regulate exosome biogenesis in concert with SDC1/4 and SDCBP. AIP1 can undergo phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by activated platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFRB).

The filarial nematode Brugia malayi is an etiological agent of Lymphatic Filariasis. The capability of B. malayi and other parasitic nematodes to modulate host biology is recognized but the mechanisms by which such manipulation occurs are obscure. An emerging paradigm
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the tumor microenvironment facilitate intercellular communication. Cancer cell-derived EVs act as an immunosuppressor by transporting cargos and presenting transmembrane proteins. By contrast, CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) exert anti-cancer cytotoxicity via the pore-forming protein perforin. Here, we
Extracellular α-synuclein is important in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and also as a potential biomarker when tested in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The performance of blood plasma or serum α-synuclein as a biomarker has been found to be
