Term Name: | intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to nitrosative stress |
---|---|
Synonyms: | nitrosative stress-induced apoptosis, nitrosative stress-induced intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway |
Definition: | The series of molecular signals in which an intracellular signal is conveyed to trigger the apoptotic death of a cell. The pathway is induced in response to nitrosative stress; a state often resulting from exposure to high levels of nitric oxide (NO) or the highly reactive oxidant peroxynitrite, which is produced following interaction of NO with superoxide anions. |
