摘要
Mitochondria play an essential function in eukaryotic life and death, They also play a central role in apoptosis regulation, reflected dy the convergence of Bcl-2 family members on the mitochondrial outer membrane, and the presence of 'death factors' in the intermembrane space. Mitochondrial structure and function must be taken into consideration,when evaluating mechanisms for cytochrome c release, The core machinery for caspase activation is conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans to man, and we consider parallels in the role of mitochondria in this process.
