| GO term: | apoptotic signaling pathway |
| Synonym: | apoptotic signalling pathway |
| Synonym: | induction of apoptosis by extracellular signals |
| GO id: | GO:0097190 |
| Definition: | A series of molecular signals which triggers the apoptotic death of a cell. The pathway starts with reception of a signal, and ends when the execution phase of apoptosis is triggered. |
| Comments | This term can be used to annotate gene products involved in apoptotic events happening downstream of the cross-talk point between the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways. The cross-talk starts when caspase-8 cleaves Bid and truncated Bid interacts with mitochondria. From this point on it is not possible to distinguish between extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. |
