General description

Anti-ALIX/PDCD6IP antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma ALIX-1 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a peptide corresponding to an internal region of human ALIX/ PDCD6IP, conjugated to KLH. ALIX (Apoptosis-linked gene 2 (ALG-2)-interacting protein X), also named Programmed Cell Death 6 interacting protein (PDCD6IP).

Biochem/physiol Actions

ALIX (Apoptosis-linked gene 2 (ALG-2)-interacting protein X) plays a role in ESCRT (endosomal sorting complexes required for transport) pathway. It is involved in the abscission stage of cytokinesis, in intralumenal endosomal localization, and in enveloped virus budding. Overexpression of this protein can block apoptosis. In addition, ALIX binds to PDCD6, a protein required for apoptosis, in a calcium-dependent manner. ALIX also binds to endophilins, proteins that regulate membrane shape during endocytosis. Overexpression of ALIX and endophilins results in cytoplasmic vacuolization, which may be partly responsible for the protection against cell death.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Alix is a cytosolic protein in mammalian cells that was originally identified on the basis of its association with pro-apoptotic signaling. More recent evidence has established that Alix has a hand in regulating other cellular mechanisms, including endocytic membrane trafficking

Most membrane-enveloped viruses bud from infected cells by hijacking the host ESCRT machinery. The ESCRTs are recruited to the budding sites by viral proteins that contain short proline (Pro)-rich motifs (PRMs) known as late domains. The late domains probably evolved

The adaptor protein ALIX [ALG-2 (apoptosis-linked-gene-2 product)-interacting protein X] links retroviruses to ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) machinery during retroviral budding. This function of ALIX requires its interaction with the ESCRT-III component CHMP4 (charged multivesicular body protein 4)
