Gene: [11q22/API1] apoptosis inhibitor 1; inhibitor of apoptosis 2; [cIAP1 HIAP2 ]


COM

Rajcan-Separovic-1997 used fluorescence in situ hybridization to map API1/HIAP2 to the boundary of 11q22 and 11q23. This is the same locus as the API2 gene, and the authors speculate that these genes arose by tandem duplication."

FAG

API genes (GEM:11q22/API2; GEM:0Xq25/API3; GEM:00.0/API4) are members of a human multigene family that shows extensive homology to baculovirus IAPs (inhibitor of apoptosis proteins) and that encodes proteins showing significant inhibition of apoptosis."
