| Synonym: | extrinsic apoptotic signalling pathway |
| GO id: | GO:0097191 |
| Definition: | A series of molecular signals in which a signal is conveyed from the cell surface to trigger the apoptotic death of a cell. The pathway starts with either a ligand binding to a cell surface receptor, or a ligand being withdrawn from a cell surface receptor (e.g. in the case of signaling by dependence receptors), and ends when the execution phase of apoptosis is triggered. |
| Comments | Fas acts as a death receptor with a role in apoptosis, but can also act as a non-apoptotic signal transducer. |
| Number of paths to term: | 23 |
