hormone-mediated apoptotic signaling pathway http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Apoptosis_Curation_Manual#Other_children_of_apoptotic_signaling_pathway induction of apoptosis by hormones The series of molecular signals mediated by the detection of a hormone, and which triggers the apoptotic signaling pathway in a cell. The pathway starts with reception of a hormone signal, and ends when the execution phase of apoptosis is triggered. GO:0008628 apoptotic signaling pathway in response to hormone This term is placed under GO:0097190 apoptotic signaling pathway, rather than under one of its more specific children terms, to cover for the variety of apoptosis signaling mechanisms that different hormones may use. biological_process hormone-mediated signaling pathway apoptotic signaling pathway
