Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The gene PDCD6IP (programmed cell death 6 interacting protein), also known as ALIX (apoptosis-linked gene 2-interacting protein X), is mapped to human chromosome 3p22.1 The protein has a crescent-shaped Bro1 domain, V-shaped V domain and a proline-rich region._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminal region of human ALIX/ PDCD6IP, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse, pig, monkey, bovine and dog and differs by a single amino acid in rat._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ PDCD6IP (programmed cell death 6 interacting protein) interacts with PDCD6, a protein involved in apoptosis. It also participates in intraluminal endosomal vesicle biogenesis, viral budding and cytokinetic abscission. PDCD6IP is a part of the ESCRT (endosomal sorting complexes required for transport) machinery.
