Apoptosis Regulation by Genes | Bcl-2 Family



In this video we have discussed the regulation of Apoptosis by genes.
The Apoptosis is regulated by various genes but Bcl family of genes are the primary regulators of the apoptosis.

Apoptosis (from Ancient Greek ἀπόπτωσις “falling off”) is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.[2] Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes (morphology) and death. These changes include blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, chromosomal DNA fragmentation, and global[vague] mRNA decay.
The initiation of apoptosis is tightly regulated by activation mechanisms, because once apoptosis has begun, it inevitably leads to the death of the cell. The two best-understood activation mechanisms are the intrinsic pathway (also called the mitochondrial pathway) and the extrinsic pathway.

  1. You are such a life saver. Canโ€™t thank you enough. I am here to inform you that I got 100% in my molecular cell biology in my first year medicine degree. Your concise videos have played a pivotal role in my grades.
