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.
在细胞凋亡过程中,细胞色素c从线粒体释放到细胞质中,在那里它有助于激活半胱天冬酶,这是一类杀伤性蛋白酶。细胞色素c的释放是一个快速、完全且动力学上不变的事件。
