note = "The situation varies between organisms. In worms, deletion of CED-4 and CED-3 (the homologues of mammalian Apaf-1 and caspase-9) completely prevents programmed cell death. Some mice without Apaf-1 and caspase-9 die from neuronal overgrowth but others fare just fine. One possibility is that another caspase such as caspase-2 takes over when caspase-9 is absent or can't be activated by Apaf-1.",
