Human Gene Set: GOBP_EXECUTION_PHASE_OF_APOPTOSIS

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_EXECUTION_PHASE_OF_APOPTOSIS

Standard name GOBP_EXECUTION_PHASE_OF_APOPTOSIS
Systematic name M15953
Brief description A stage of the apoptotic process that starts with the controlled breakdown of the cell through the action of effector caspases or other effector molecules (e.g. cathepsins, calpains etc.). Key steps of the execution phase are rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing and fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies. When the execution phase is completed, the cell has died. [GOC:mtg_apoptosis, PMID:21760595]
