Apoptosis Pathway Inhibition
- Molecular classification
- Signaling pathway, Multi-protein complex
01
Overview
Apoptosis pathway inhibition refers to the molecular and cellular mechanisms that prevent or delay programmed cell death (apoptosis). Key players include IAP family proteins (XIAP, cIAP1/2), Bcl-2 family proteins (Bcl-xL, Bcl-2), and c-FLIP. The PI3K/Akt, JAK/STAT, NF-kB, and MAPK pathways are involved in regulating apoptosis inhibitors. This process is crucial for cell survival and is often dysregulated in diseases such as cancer, contributing to tumor development and therapy resistance. Therapeutic strategies target these inhibitors to restore apoptotic sensitivity in diseased cells.
