Fig. 1From: Phylogenetic analysis of the caspase family in bivalves: implications for programmed cell death, immune response and developmentSchematic representation of a potential apoptotic pathways in bivalve species based on homologous genes characterised in bivalves or suggested in bivalve genomes (*not identified in a bivalve species yet) to the vertebrate’s intrinsic mitochondrial or extrinsic apoptotic pathways as well as apoptotic pathways in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. b Pyroptotic pathways in vertebrates.
