XIAP Cancer Research Results

XIAP, X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 4 (BIRC4): Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Also known as BIRC4. XIAP is inhibited by DIABLO (Smac) and HTRA2 (Omi), two death-signaling proteins released into the cytoplasm by the mitochondria.
High proportions of XIAP may function as a tumor marker. In developing prostate cancer, XIAP is one of four IAPs overexpressed in the prostatic epithelium.

XIAP functions predominantly as a protumorigenic protein in the context of cancer. Its upregulation is commonly observed in various tumor types and is associated with poor patient outcomes and resistance to therapy due to its potent inhibition of apoptosis.
