Term Name:	extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway		Search Ontology:
Synonyms:	death receptor-mediated apoptosis extrinsic apoptosis extrinsic apoptotic pathway extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in presence of ligand extrinsic apoptotic signalling pathway
Definition:	The series of molecular signals in which a signal is conveyed from the cell surface to trigger the apoptotic death of a cell. The pathway starts with either a ligand binding to a cell surface receptor, or a ligand being withdrawn from a cell surface receptor (e.g. in the case of signaling by dependence receptors), and ends when the execution phase of apoptosis is triggered. 17340152
