Abstract:
Livin is a new member of the inhibitors of apoptosis protein(IAP) gene family. It is highly expressed in most human tumors, involved in inhibiting cell apoptosis, and closely related with tumor occurrence, development and prognosis. So Livin could be a new target for tumorous early diagnosis and cancer therapy. This paper summarizes the Livin gene molecular structure, tissue expression, biological function,and its application in cancer treatment.
