Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BIRC7 gene. This protein is a member of the family of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAP) and contains a single copy of a baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) and a RING finger motif. Its gene is mapped to 20q13.3. It has got 280- and 298- amino acids. The protein is highly expressed in melanomas while lowly expressed in some lymphomas, fetal kidney, fetal liver, testis and thymus. BIRC7 plays a vital role in blocking apoptosis induced.
