The present invention relates to peptides which interact with IAPs. IAPs are highly expressed in tumor cells which fail to undergo apoptosis. By binding to IAPs, the peptides of the present invention release tumor cells from the apoptosis block and thus provide a new tool for effective cancer therapy.
