Baculovirus inhibitor of apoptosis protein Repeat (BIR) is known as the structural motif available in proteins having a role in apoptosis, segregation of chromosome and cytokine production. BIR-containing proteins (BIRCs) include BIRC1, BIRC2, BIRC3, BIRC4, BIRC5 and BIRC6. These BIR domains are a part of zinc-finger domain family and possess numerous invariant amino acid residues. Baculoviral IAP Repeat Containing 5 (BIRC 5) is a coding gene and belongs to the gene family inhibitor of ... Read more
