Apoptosis pathway, also known as programmed cell death, is a crucial process that maintains cellular homeostasis and eliminates damaged or unnecessary cells. Any disruption in apoptosis pathways can lead to various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the Apoptosis Pathway provides insights into the mechanisms of cell death, which is essential for developing therapeutic approaches.
Our Apoptosis Pathway qPCR arrays are designed to meet the needs of researchers exploring apoptosis in health and disease. With a comprehensive panel of apoptosis-related genes, these arrays allow for high-throughput analysis and precise gene quantification. AnyGenes products enable scientists to investigate apoptotic markers accurately, facilitating studies in oncology, immunology, and regenerative medicine.
The apoptosis pathway involves two main signaling mechanisms:
* Mitochondrial release: Stress signals lead to the permeabilization of the mitochondrial membrane, resulting in the release of pro-apoptotic factors like cytochrome c into the cytosol.
* Apoptosome Formation: Cytochrome c binds to Apaf-1 and procaspase-9, forming an apoptosome that activates caspase-9, which then activates downstream effector caspases.
Apoptosis involves a series of tightly regulated molecular signaling pathways that guide programmed cell death, which is essential for maintaining cellular balance and eliminating damaged cells. Beside intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, here are the key components and signaling pathways in apoptosis:

Necrosis and apoptosis are two distinct forms of cell death with different causes, processes, and consequences. Necrosis is an uncontrolled, often damaging form of cell death, while apoptosis is a controlled, programmed process that promotes cellular balance and health.
