Livin is a member of the Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein family which inhibits apoptosis induced by a variety of stimuli. We previously identified Livin and demonstrated that following apoptotic stimuli, Livin is cleaved by effector caspases to produce a truncated form with paradoxical pro-apoptotic activity. In the present study, we reveal that while full-length Livin shows diffuse cytoplasmic localization,...
