Abstract: Survivin is a new inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein. Survivin, is expressed in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle in a cycle-regulated manner and it has two different subcellular localization. Survivin initiates cell cycle entry and is required for centrosome assembly, spindle assembly checkpoint surveillance and cytokinesis. Survivin also plays a role in meiosis, but there are only a few reports to date. The survivin activity resulted from the phosphorylation of Thr34 by the mitotic kinase complex p34cdc2-cyclin B1, many factors regulate its expression level.
