Q

What is the role of IAPs and Anti-IAPs in apoptosis?

A

IAPs-Bind to caspases preventing their activation after they have been cleaved
Anti-IAPs-Neutralize IAPs and free caspases to become active

A

Oncogene

19
Q

What is the term for a mutation event where a single gene mutation has no effect but a second mutation causes problems?

A

Tumor Suppressor Gene

20
Q

What is the difference between familial and sporadic Rb?

A
