Effects of targets and afferents
Signal-activation of caspase
Bax Activation PI3 Kinase NOT activated Akt NOT activated Cytosolic BAX migrates to mito. Cytochrome C release Caspase 9 Caspase 3
BDNF Trk B Y-P SHC RAS PI3 kinase Akt Blocks BAX migration To the mitochondria. No Cytochrome C release No Caspase activation Bax Inhibition
