Figure 1. XIAP regulates apoptotic and inflammatory signaling pathways.

Figure 1

XIAP is an inhibitor of caspases 3, 7, and 9, which allows it to block both mitochondrial and death receptor mediated cell killing. By serving as an E3 ligase for RIP2, XIAP is a critical mediator of NOD2/RIP2 inflammatory signaling. Consequently, XIAP selective antagonists can efficiently inhibit NOD2 pathway.
