Abstract:
Livin is a member of the inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) family, which plays crucial roles in apoptosis, cell proliferation, and cell cycle control. Abnormal Livin expression is sometimes detected during the process of cancer formation and/or progression. Thus, Livin research may provide an opportunity for the development of potential therapy for Livin-relevant cancers. In this review, we introduce Livin structure, biological function, and its role in cancer formation and progression and the possible interventions for cancer therapy.

Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
