Transformation of the apoptotic signaling pathway could be counted for the resistance of cancer cells towards chemotherapy, accentuated expression of anti-apoptotic genes (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL2), BCL2-like 1 (BCLXL), Livin/ML-IAP/KIAP), X-linked inhibition of apoptosis, and survivin represent the members of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family (Saraswathy and Gong, 2014), (KUNZE et al., 2012). The gene discussed is BIRC7; the disease is cancer.
