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.

Function

Antiapoptotic factor that may have a role in protein assembly. Negatively regulates ACIN1. By binding to ACIN1, it suppresses ACIN1 cleavage from CASP3 and ACIN1-mediated DNA fragmentation. Also known to efficiently suppress E2F1-induced apoptosis. Its depletion enhances the cytotoxic action of the chemotherapeutic drugs. .
