Preservation of Mitochondrial Structure and Function after Bid- or Bax-Mediated Cytochrome c Release
Proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family, including Bid and Bax, can activate apoptosis by directly interacting with mitochondria to cause cytochrome c translocation from the intermembrane space into the cytoplasm, thereby triggering Apaf-1–mediated caspase activation. Under some circumstanc...
