One method of detecting this process is Annexin-A5 binding. This process is inhibited by bcl-2, and the binding of the Fas receptor to its ligand is one trigger for it.
One method of detecting this process is Annexin-A5 binding. This process is inhibited by bcl-2, and the binding of the Fas receptor to its ligand is one trigger for it. Another pathway for activating it relies on Apaf-1 binding to cytochrome c released from mitochondria. During it, a chain reaction of caspase activation occurs. During this process, DNA is cleaved into a ladder pattern and the cell membrane forms (*) blebs. Cancer cells are able to evade signals that trigger this this process. C. Elegans undergoes 131 instances of it during development, and it also occurs on the webs between toes during human development. Unlike necrosis, this process is orderly, neat, and a normal cellular function. For 10 points, name this type of programmed cell death.
