Cytochrome c release from mitochondria: all or nothing

J C Martinou et al. Nat Cell Biol. 2000 Mar.

Abstract

During the process of apoptosis, cytochrome c is released from mitochondria into the cytosol where it helps to activate the caspases, a family of killer proteases. The release of cytochrome c is a rapid, complete and kinetically invariant event.
