Prosurvival protein

Prosurvival proteins are molecules that help cells stay alive by preventing the processes that lead to cell death. They play a crucial role in maintaining healthy tissue function and protecting cells from stress or damage. These proteins regulate signals inside the cell to inhibit the activation of death pathways, ensuring cells survive when they are needed. However, in some cases like cancer, these proteins can be overactive, allowing abnormal cells to persist and multiply when they shouldn't. Understanding prosurvival proteins is important for developing therapies to promote cell survival in diseases or to trigger death in harmful cells.
