ILPIP Antibody

ILPIP Antibody: ILPIP (ILP-interacting protein) has recently been shown to interact with XIAP, a member of the IAP (Inhibitor of Apoptosis) protein family. Together, these two proteins synergistically activate the TAK1/JNK1 signal transduction pathway, which acts to protect against the interleukin-1β converting enzyme of Fas-induced apotosis. This protein was independently isolated and characterized as polyploidy-associated protein kinase (PAPK), a member of the Ste20/germinal center kinase family that modulates cytoskeletal organization and cell survival, suggesting that its protective role may be a function of its kinase activity. Although two mRNA sequences have been isolated, only the shorter isoform has been observed.

ILPIP antibody can be stored at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
