Abstract
The morphological features observed by Kerr, Wylie and Currie in 1972 define apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy. An appreciable number of alternative systems do not fall neatly under these categories, warranting a review of alternative proteolytic machinery and its contribution to cell death. This review aims to pinpoint key molecular features of serine protease-mediated pro-apoptotic signalling. The profile created will contribute to a standard set of biochemical criteria that can serve in differentiating within cell death subtypes.Entities:
