General Information
Term phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface ID (Ontology) GO:0070782 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A phospholipid scrambling process that results in the appearance of phosphatidylserine on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of an apoptotic cell, which acts as an 'eat-me' signal for engulfing cells. Phosphatidylserine is exposed on the apoptotic cell surface by a phospholipid scramblase activity.[ PubMed:11536005 ]
Also Known As "externalization of phosphatidylserine"
