Baculoviral IAP Repeat-Containing Protein 2 - CISMeF
Baculoviral IAP Repeat-Containing Protein 2NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Baculoviral IAP Repeat-Containing Protein 2;
NCIt synonyms : RING Finger Protein 48; HIAP-2; BIRC2; Cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis-1; HIAP2; Mammalian IAP Homolog B; IAP Homolog B; Apoptosis Inhibitor 1; Inhibitor Of Apoptosis Protein 2; C-IAP1; TNFR2-TRAF-Signaling Complex Protein 2; Human Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein-2; Baculoviral IAP Repeat-Containing Protein-2;
NCIt definition : Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 2 (618 aa, 70 kDa) is encoded by the human
BIRC2 gene. This protein plays a role in the regulation of apoptosis.;
NCIt note : Encoded by BIRC2 Gene (IAP Family), Baculoviral IAP Repeat-Containing Protein 2 inhibits
apoptosis by binding to TNF Receptor-associated factors TRAF1 and TRAF2 preventing
activation of ICE-like proteases. BIRC2 inhibits apoptosis induced by serum deprivation
and menadione, a potent inducer of free radicals. The amino acid sequence predicts
three baculovirus IAP repeat domains and a ring finger domain.;
