Term Name: mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization
Synonyms: mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization during apoptotic cell death, mitochondrion outer membrane permeabilization, MOMP
Definition: The process by which the mitochondrial outer membrane becomes permeable to the passing of proteins and other molecules from the intermembrane space to the cytosol as part of the apoptotic signaling pathway.
