Extrinsic (death receptor–regulated) apoptosis pathway

binding of TNFα to TNFR1, a DD-containing death

receptor, recruits another two DD-containing

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

The activation of RIPK1 kinase is a key decisive event that can initiate cell death by either apoptosis or necroptosis.
