BIRC5 baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5

ENSG00000089685 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Multitasking protein that has dual roles in promoting cell proliferation and preventing apoptosis (PubMed:20627126, PubMed:21364656, PubMed:25778398, PubMed:28218735, PubMed:9859993). Component of a chromosome passage protein complex (CPC) which is essential for chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis and cytokinesis (PubMed:16322459). Acts as an important regulator of the localization of this complex; directs CPC movement to different locations from the inner centromere during prometaphase to midbody during cytokinesis and participates in the organization of the center spindle by associating with polymerized microtubules (PubMed:20826784). Involved in the recruitment of CPC to centromeres during early mitosis via association with histone H3 phosphorylated at 'Thr-3' (H3pT3) during mitosis (PubMed:20929775). The complex with RAN plays a role in mitotic spindle formation by serving as a physical scaffold to help deliver the RAN effector molecule TPX2 to microtubules (PubMed:18591255). May counteract a default induction of apoptosis in G2/M phase (PubMed:9859993). The acetylated form represses STAT3 transactivation of target gene promoters (PubMed:20826784). May play a role in neoplasia (PubMed:10626797). Inhibitor of CASP3 and CASP7 (PubMed:21536684). Essential for the maintenance of mitochondrial integrity and function (PubMed:25778398). Isoform 2 and isoform 3 do not appear to play vital roles in mitosis (PubMed:12773388, PubMed:16291752). Isoform 3 shows a marked reduction in its anti- apoptotic effects when compared with the displayed wild-type isoform (PubMed:10626797). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10626797, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12773388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16291752, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16322459, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18591255, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20627126, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20826784, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20929775, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21364656, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21536684, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25778398, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28218735, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9859993}.

None of the 2 drugs recorded against BIRC5 is approved yet

Each band is a group of drugs. It runs from the kind of drug on the left to the furthest stage that drug has reached in any disease on the right. Thicker bands mean more drugs.

Approved bands are highlighted. Withdrawn means the drug was pulled from the market or from development. A combined phase counts as the later one (Phase 1/2 is shown as Phase 2). Hover a band for the drug names. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

BIRC5: inherited and tumour-mutation evidence across 15 cancers

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.50586998462677 (upper bound 0.9127600193023682). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

Principal investigators and study chairs on 5 registry trials, updated in the last three years, of the most advanced drugs against BIRC5 (SVN53-67/M57-KLH PEPTIDE VACCINE, gataparsen), ranked by Phase 2+ trials. Live from ClinicalTrials.gov.

5 of 5 trials of drugs against BIRC5 have sites only in United States

Registry trials of SVN53-67/M57-KLH PEPTIDE VACCINE, gataparsen updated in the last three years, counted by the country group of their listed sites. A trial with sites in several groups counts in each; 5 of 5 have all sites in one country.

Paediatric incentives and obligations for BIRC5's drugs

For SVN53-67/M57-KLH PEPTIDE VACCINE, gataparsen: what EMA and FDA publish about paediatric plans, orphan status and pediatric approvals, and how many registered studies take children. Each line is a yes, no or not published fact from the record linked under it; none of it is a forecast.

Rare pediatric disease voucher. FDA, content current as of 29 Apr 2026: “As of February 3, 2026, enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, the rare pediatric disease PRV program will sunset after September 30, 2029. FDA may not award any PRVs under this program after September 30, 2029.” Voucher sale prices are not shown here; they appear only as company-reported news.
