Abstract EN
Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a highly conserved protein found in eukaryotes, across animal and plant kingdoms and even in yeast.
Mammalian TCTP is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues and cell types.
TCTP is a multifunctional protein which plays important roles in a number of cell physiological events, such as immune responses, cell proliferation, tumorigenicity, and cell death, including apoptosis.
Recent identification of TCTP as an antiapoptotic protein has attracted interest of many researchers in the field.
The mechanism of antiapoptotic activity, however, has not been solved completely, and TCTP might inhibit other types of cell death.
Cell death (including apoptosis) is closely linked to proliferation and tumorigenesis.
In this context, we review recent findings regarding the role of TCTP in cell death, proliferation, and tumorigenesis and discuss the mechanisms.
