Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins: translating basic knowledge into clinical practice

AD Schimmer - Cancer research, 2004 - AACR
The inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are a family of antiapoptotic proteins that bind and
inhibit caspases 3, 7, and/or 9, but not caspase 8. Growing evidence also indicates that IAPs …
