It plays a pivotal modulatory role in several intracellular signaling cascades. RKIP binds to Raf-1, and blocks MAPK signaling pathway. Also it has been demonstrated to regulate G-protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and NF-κB signaling. RKIP plays a critical role in several physiological processes including membrane biosynthesis, spermatogenesis, neural development and apoptosis. It also contributes to pathophysiological processes including Alzheimer s disease and diabetic nephropathy. Additionally, recent researches show RKIP is a novel metastasis suppressor, which suppresses metastasis in prostate cancer, breast cancer and melanoma cancer. And RKIP becomes a novel prognostic marker in prostate cancer. key words: RKIP; signal transduction; prostate cancer; metastasis; apoptosis Bernier [1-2] PEBP [3-6] 1999 Yeung [7] PEBP Raf- 1 Raf-1/MEK/ERK RKIP RKIP G [8] ( ) (1981 ) , zhangwei@bnu.edu.cn (1969 ) * Tel:
