The death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) is a multiprotein complex formed through signaling via cell death receptors, activating the caspase cascade to induce apoptosis.
El complejo de señalización inductor de muerte (DISC) es un complejo multiproteico formado por la señalización a través de receptores de muerte celular, que activa la cascada de caspasas para inducir apoptosis.
