Abstract

Presents research which showed that the recombinant proteins Bax and Bak accelerate the opening of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) in cells. Alteration of mitochondria in the apoptotic signal's transduction; Translocation of the protein cytochrome c in apoptosis; Role of caspases; Regulation of apoptosis by the Bcl-2 proteins; Traits of VDAC1-deficient mitochondria; Binding by Bcl-2 proteins to the VDAC.
