DIABLO, also known as Smac (second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase), plays a pivotal role in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway by antagonizing inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Upon mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, DIABLO is released into the cytosol where it binds and neutralizes IAPs, thereby promoting caspase activation and programmed cell death. This regulatory function makes DIABLO a significant target in cancer research, particularly in studies investigating therapeutic strategies to overcome apoptosis resistance in tumor cells.
This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody (clone 14H5) offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human DIABLO, the recombinant format ensures sequence-defined specificity and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability often encountered with traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, providing confidence across longitudinal studies and collaborative projects.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates versatile experimental utility. Western blot analysis confirms robust detection in diverse human cell lines including HEK293, PC-3, SW620, Jurkat, MCF-7, A431, and HepG2, with cross-species reactivity verified in NIH/3T3 cells and mouse heart tissue. The observed band at 21 kDa, rather than the predicted 27 kDa, reflects the mature processed form of DIABLO following mitochondrial import signal cleavage. Immunohistochemical staining in human glioma tissue sections reveals clear target localization, while flow cytometry analysis in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells demonstrates suitability for single-cell quantification studies.
Whether investigating mitochondrial apoptotic signaling, screening for therapeutic compounds that modulate IAP function, or characterizing DIABLO expression in cancer models, this antibody provides a reliable tool for advancing your apoptosis research.
