Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP) is a critical step in the execution of apoptosis, which involves the release of several pro-apoptotic factors, including cytochrome c, Smac/DIABLO, and AIF, from the intermembrane space of mitochondria into the cytoplasm. This leads to the activation of downstream caspases, resulting in apoptotic cell death. The other options are not part of the apoptotic process.
