High impact information on ced-8
- The ced-8 gene controls the timing of programmed cell deaths in C. elegans [1].
- In ced-8 mutants, embryonic programmed cell death probably initiates normally but proceeds slowly. ced-8 encodes a transmembrane protein that appears to be localized to the plasma membrane [1].
