AHP937 is specific for human X-chromosome linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP).
XIAP is an endogenous inhibitor of cell death, which functions by suppressing caspases 3, 7, and 9. The protein is also reported to play a a role in the activation of NF kappa B and the regulation of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs).
Regulators of XIAP activity include XAF-1 and Smac.
AHP937 detects a band of approximately 57KDa in human kidney lysates.
