Cell Membrane Receptor-Mediated Apoptosis Pathway
- Molecular classification
- Signaling pathway, Apoptosis pathway
01
Overview
The cell membrane receptor-mediated apoptosis pathway is a tightly regulated process involving specific ligand-receptor interactions at the plasma membrane that trigger intracellular signaling cascades culminating in programmed cell death through activation of initiator and executioner caspases. It serves essential physiological functions but its dysregulation underlies various diseases including cancer.
