Simplified schematic presentation of the three major cell death regulatory pathways, which, when activated, all lead to the activation of caspases (in dashed square). Colors distinguish the organism to which the gene/protein belongs (eg. C. elegans, Drosophila, and Mammals). * Most mammalian genes have multiple names, only one is listed due to space limitation.
