protein insertion into mitochondrial membrane involved in apoptotic signaling pathway
The process in which a protein is incorporated into a mitochondrial membrane as the initial phase of the mitochondrial membrane permeabilization that takes place in the apoptotic signaling pathway. [ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12952892 ]
Term info
protein insertion into mitochondrial membrane involved in apoptotic signaling pathway
Note that this term is intended to cover the insertion of pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bax or its homologs into mitochondrial membranes which occurs as an early step in the apoptotic program.
insertion of proteins into mitochondrial membranes during the induction of apoptosis, protein insertion into mitochondrial membrane during induction of apoptosis, protein insertion into mitochondrion membrane during induction of apoptosis, protein insertion into mitochondrial membrane involved in induction of apoptosis
