Intrinsic apoptosis is evolutionarily divergent among metazoans
6 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis is regulated cell death that depends on caspases. A specific initiator caspase is involved upstream of each apoptotic signaling pathway. Characterized in nematode, fly, and mammals, intrinsic apoptosis is considered to be ancestral, conserved among animals, and depends on shared initiators: caspase-9, Apaf-1 and Bcl-2. However, the biochemical role of mitochondria, the pivotal function of cytochrome c...
