The present invention relates to a novel use of KIAA0317 as an apoptosis regulator. According to the present invention, KIAA0317 can inhibit the activity of a protease, caspase, which is necessary for apoptosis, so it is possible to suppress apoptosis. A KIAA0317 gene or a protein coded by the same, or a material regulating the activity thereof, for example an antibody, siRNA, a chemical material, and so on according to the present invention may be usefully applied for treating an apoptosis-related disease. |
