IAP2 (cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein 2) is a member of the Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) protein family.
• Like its family members, IAP2 functions to regulate cell survival primarily by inhibiting caspases and other components of the apoptotic machinery.
• IAP2 also influences signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, which affects inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, and survival.
• Overexpression or dysregulation of IAP2 has been observed in various malignancies.
– Elevated IAP2 levels can help tumor cells evade apoptosis, promoting tumor growth and survival.
– IAP2, similar to IAP1, may contribute to resistance against chemotherapies and targeted therapies by blocking cell death pathways.
