function:Apoptotic suppressor. The BIR motifs region interacts with TNF receptor associated factors 1 and 2 (TRAF1 and TRAF2) to form an heteromeric complex, which is then recruited to the tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2).,similarity:Belongs to the IAP family.,similarity:Contains 1 CARD domain.,similarity:Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 3 BIR repeats.,subunit:Interacts with SMAC and with PRSS25; these interactions inhibit apoptotic suppressor activity.,tissue specificity:Present in many fetal and adult tissues. Mainly expressed in adult skeletal muscle, thymus, testis, ovary, and pancreas, low or absent in brain and peripheral blood leukocytes.,
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Agents that induce either the extrinsic or intrinsic apoptotic pathways promote its redistribution from the nuclear compartment to the cytoplasmic compartment. Associated with the midbody in telophase cells, and found diffusely in the nucleus of interphase cells.
Present in many fetal and adult tissues. Mainly expressed in adult skeletal muscle, thymus, testis, ovary, and pancreas, low or absent in brain and peripheral blood leukocytes.
