| Apoptosis is a form of cell death that permits the removal of damaged, senescent or unwanted cells in multicellular organisms, without damage to the cellular microenvironment. Survivin is a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) gene family, which encodes negative regulatory proteins that prevent apoptotic cell death. repeat (BIR) domains, but this gene encodes proteins with only a single BIR domain. Survivin appears to have an important role in regulating apoptosis at cell cycle checkpoint(s). Survivin expression is highly cell cycle-regulated, and is detectable in the nucleus selectively at the G2/M phase. Human Survivin: Isoform 1-142aa, 16.4kD, Isoform 2-165aa, 18.6kD, Isoform 3 -137aa, 15.6kD, Isoform 4-120aa, 13.8kD, Isoform 5-117aa, 13.5kD, Isoform 6 -78aa, 9kD, Isoform 7-74aa, 8.5kD. Human chromosome: 17q25. Mainly expressed in fetal kidney and liver, and to lesser extent, lung and brain, abundantly expressed in adenocarcinoma (lung, pancreas, colon, breast, and prostate) and in high-grade lymphomas.
