Alix, also known as PDCD6IP, is a cytoplasmic protein that interacts with apoptosis-associated proteins (ALG-2 and PDCD6) and with the endocytosis-regulator CIN85. Its involved in concentration and sorting of cargo proteins of the multivesicular body for incorporation into intralumenal vesicles that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome. Overexpression of this protein and endophilins results in cytoplasmic vacuolization which may be partly responsible for the protection against cell death. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-392 of human Alix fused to His-tag expressed in E. coli.
