Product Details anti-XAF1 Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 230-280

Purification: XAF-1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

Immunogen: XAF-1 antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to 16 amino acids near the middle of human XAF-1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 230 - 280 of XAF-1.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: XAF-1 antibody can be used for the detection of XAF-1 by Western blot at 0.5 - 1 μ,g/mL. Multiple isoforms of XAF-1 exist and a doublet at ~30 kDa can be seen using anti-XAF-1 (IN). For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.

Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Target Details for XAF1

Target: XAF1 (XiAP Associated Factor 1 (XAF1))

Alternative Name: XAF-1

Background: XAF-1 Antibody: XAF-1 binds to XIAP, an inhibitor of caspases-3, -7, and -9, and triggers its relocation from the cytosol to the nucleus. Overexpression of XAF-1 results in the neutralization of XIAP's ability to inhibit cell death. XAF-1 is normally expressed in all adult and fetal tissues but was found to be present in very low levels in a variety of cancer cell lines. In contrast, XIAP levels have been shown to be high in a majority of cell lines. Low XAF-1 and high basal expression of XIAP may therefore play a critical role in maintaining survival of cancer cell lines. Both IFN-alpha2 and IFN-beta can induce XAF-1 mRNA in all cells examined but induction of XAF-1 protein (as observed by immunoblot analysis) was seen only in cell lines sensitive to the apoptotic effects of IFNs.
