Primary Accession | Q9NR28 |
---|---|
Clone Names | 81201145 |
Gene ID | 56616 |
---|---|
Other Names | Diablo homolog, mitochondrial, Direct IAP-binding protein with low pI, Second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase, Smac, DIABLO, SMAC |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6820b was selected from the C-term region of human SMAC. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | DIABLO (HGNC:21528) |
---|---|
Function | Promotes apoptosis by activating caspases in the cytochrome c/Apaf-1/caspase-9 pathway. Acts by opposing the inhibitory activity of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAP). Inhibits the activity of BIRC6/BRUCE by inhibiting its binding to caspases (PubMed:15200957, PubMed:36758104, PubMed:36758105, PubMed:36758106). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion. Cytoplasm, cytosol Note=Released into the cytosol in a PARL-dependent manner when cells undergo apoptosis. |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed with highest expression in testis. Expression is also high in heart, liver, kidney, spleen, prostate and ovary. Low in brain, lung, thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. Isoform 3 is ubiquitously expressed |

Background
SMAC is an inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP)-binding protein. This mitochondrial protein enters the cytosol when cells undergo apoptosis, and it moderates the caspase inhibition of IAPs.
