Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Liquid
Buffer
PBS containing 0.02 % sodium azide.
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freezing and thawing repeatly.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store at 4 °C for short term use.Store at -20 °C for long term preservation.
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is related to many diseases, such as cancer.Apoptosis is triggered by a variety of stimuli including members in the TNF family and can be prevented by the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins.IAP proteins form a conserved gene family that binds to and inhibits cell death proteases.The X-chromosome linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) contains 3 baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) motifs that are essential and sufficient for the binding and inhibition of caspases-3, -7, and -9.Upregulation of XIAP expression can protect cells from apoptosis induced by low level radiation, conversely, decreased XIAP expression by antisense targeting resulted in increased cell death following low level radiation.Two negative regulators, termed XAF-1 and Smac, can bind and inhibit XIAP activity.
