Scientific background: |
Many growth factors and cytokines act as cellular survival factors by preventing programmed cell death (apoptosis). Apoptosis inhibitor 5 (API5) is an antiapoptotic factor which may have a role in protein assembly. The API5 gene to chromosome 11p12 based on an alignment of the API5 sequence with the genomic sequence It is a critical determinant of E2F1-induced apoptosis, acting downstream of E2F to suppress E2F-dependent apoptosis without generally blocking E2F-dependent transcription. |
