CD95: more than just a death factor?

Nature Cell Biology volume 2, pages E23–E25 (2000)Cite this article

Abstract

The CD95 protein delivers crucial signals for lymphocyte death, and may also negatively regulate T-lymphocyte activation by preventing the influx of calcium ions from the cell’s exterior. The block in calcium-ion influx occurs through the activation of acidic sphingomyelinase and the release of ceramide, a metabolite that can also induce cell death.
