Abstract excerpt
CED-9 prevents apoptosis in embryonic cells of Caenorhabditis elegans but not in mammalian cells. We show here that the prevention of apoptosis in mammalian cells requires a CED-3-cleaved form (68-280) of CED-9 which is localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The viability of PC12 and HeLa cells was significantly increased after death stimuli when truncated CED-9 was expressed in these cells but...
