Background Information
ALG-2-interacting protein 1 (ALIX), also known as AIP1 or Hp95, is encoded by PDCD6IP gene and is involved in cell death through mechanisms involving its binding partner ALG-2 (apoptosis-linked gene-2). ALG-2 is a 22-kDa protein containing five serially repetitive EF-hand structures and is defined as a regulator of calcium-induced apoptosis following endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ALIX interacts with ALG-2 through its C-terminal proline-rich region and participates in formation of multivesicular bodies. Recent finding suggest that ALIX is a critical component of caspase 9 activation and apoptosis triggered by calcium. The alix antibody recognizes an additional band of 75-80 kDa which has also been observed in cells and exosomes.
