Abstract: X-box binding protein-1(XBP-1)is a newly found protein that plays significant roles in protein folding and endoplasmic reticulum construction.The expression of XBP-1 is widely displayed in various kinds of tumor and is shown to take part in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.This review briefly summarizes the biology of XBP-1 and focuses on recent findings concerning its role in immune evasion,tumorigenesis,development of cancer,angiogenesis,hypoxia,invasion and metastasis.

Key words: XBP-1, Immune escape, Angiogenesis, Cancer
