... proteins. Recent evidence suggests that PT is a critical, rate limiting event of apoptosis (programmed cell death): (i) induction of PT suffices to cause apoptosis; (ii) one of the immediate consequences of PT, disruption of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨ m ), is a constant feature of early...

... revealed the involvement of many death and survival genes in apoptosis which are regulated by extracellular factors. There are multiple inducers and inhibitors of apoptosis which interact with target cell specific surface receptors and transduce the signal by second messengers to programme cell death...
