Abstract:
Death receptors induce apoptosis by intracellular signaling transmission and relate to body growth, development, disease and death. This paper reviews the structural character of death receptors, and the mechanisms by which apoptosis is induced. The biology and pathobiology of these death receptors in liver are discussed as well.
