Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Survivin, a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family is transiently expressed at low levels during normal hematopoesis but profoundly overexpressed in adult leukemia potentially contributing to leukemogenesis due to deregulated apoptosis and defective cell cycle control. Alternative splicing results in four different mRNA variants survivin, survivin2B, survivin-DeltaExon3 and...
