The human gene API5 encodes the protein Apoptosis inhibitor 5.[3][4]

This gene encodes an apoptosis inhibitory protein whose expression prevents apoptosis after growth factor deprivation. This protein suppresses the transcription factor E2F1-induced apoptosis and also interacts with, and negatively regulates acinus, a nuclear factor involved in apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Its depletion enhances the cytotoxic action of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Diseases associated with API5 include colon adenocarcinoma, and cervical cancer.
