    We have identified a novel human gene, kiap (kidney inhibitor of apoptosis protein) that encodes a single BIR domain and a RING zinc finger domain. kiap has been assigned to the q13.3 region of human chromosome 20 by fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis. Northern blot analysis indicates that KIAP is expressed mainly in placenta, lymph node and fetal kidney. In this report, we show that overexpression of KIAP blocks apoptosis induced by menadione or by overexpression of BAX. In addition, we show that overexpression of KIAP enhances apoptosis induced by etoposide, and, that KIAP fails to block apoptosis induced by overexpression of Fas. Thus, KIAP, a new member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family, has pleiotropic effects on apoptosis induced by various stimuli.

    All links from this record

    • Related Articles

      Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.

    • Gene

      Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.

    • Gene (OMIM)

      Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.

    • HomoloGene

      HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.

    • Nucleotide

      Primary database (GenBank) nucleotide records reported in the current articles as well as Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that include the articles as references.

    • Nucleotide (RefSeq)

      NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Nucleotide (Weighted)

      Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • OMIM (calculated)

      Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
