The Pro-Apoptotic Function of CED-9 Requires a CED-9-CED-4 Interaction
Apoptosis is a fundamental, conserved process of cell death required for animal development and tissue homeostasis. In Caenorhabditis elegans apoptosis is inhibited by the BCL-2 homolog CED-9. In addition to its canonical anti-apoptotic role, CED-9 possesses an apparent proapoptotic function, becau...
