phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface

Term ID

GO:0070782

Synonyms

externalization of phosphatidylserine

Definition

A phospholipid scrambling process that results in the appearance of phosphatidylserine on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of an apoptotic cell, which acts as an 'eat-me' signal for engulfing cells. Phosphatidylserine is exposed on the apoptotic cell surface by a phospholipid scramblase activity. 11536005
