Second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase (SMAC) has been implicated in the activation of apoptosis in response to cell stress. SMAC promotes CASP9 activation by binding to IAPs and removing their inhibitory activity. The inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) regulate programmed cell death by inhibiting members of the caspase family of enzymes. Smac/DIABLO is a mitochondrial protein that is released along with cytochrome c during apoptosis and activates cytochrome c/Apaf-1/caspase-9 pathway. Smac is an antagonist of the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) - the most potent caspase inhibitor of all known inhibitor of apoptosis-family members. Smac promotes apoptosis by eliminating the inhibitory effect of inhibitor-of-apoptosis (IAPs) through physical interactions.
