phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface

id: GO:0070782
name: phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: 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.
