protein controlling programmed cell death in cells

An apoptosis regulator, also known as a cell death regulator, is a protein that controls the process of apoptosis, which is the programmed death of cells. This process is crucial for maintaining healthy tissue by eliminating damaged or unnecessary cells. Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to diseases such as cancer, where cells avoid death and proliferate uncontrollably, or degenerative diseases, where excessive cell death occurs.
