API5
Introduction
The human gene API5 encodes the protein Apoptosis inhibitor 5.[1][2]
This gene encodes an apoptosis inhibitory protein whose expression prevents apoptosis after growth factor deprivation. This protein suppresses the transcription factor E2F1-induced apoptosis and also interacts with, and negatively regulates acinus, a nuclear factor involved in apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Its depletion enhances the cytotoxic action of chemotherapeutic drugs. Crystal structure of API5 exhibited the function for protein-protein interaction [3]
Diseases associated with API5 include colon adenocarcinoma, and cervical cancer.
