Hepatocyte Apoptosis Pathway

Molecular classification
Signaling pathway, Cell death pathway
01

Overview

The hepatocyte apoptosis pathway encompasses the molecular mechanisms regulating programmed cell death in liver cells. It involves extrinsic (death receptor), intrinsic (mitochondrial), and ER stress-mediated pathways. Dysregulation is implicated in various liver diseases.

02

Mechanism of action

Modulation of apoptosis signaling pathways (extrinsic, intrinsic, ER stress) to either promote or inhibit hepatocyte cell death, depending on the specific disease context.
