This process can be triggered by a TNF-family protein known as the Fas ligand.
This process can be triggered by a TNF-family protein known as the Fas ligand. This process occurs exactly 131 times in the normal development of C. elegans, in which it is most commonly triggered by the ced-3 or ced-4 proteins. In humans, this process is mediated by the "tumor suppressor gene." When irreparable DNA damage occurs, the p53 protein can initiate this process to prevent the mutations from being passed on. For 10 points, name this process of programmed cell suicide.
