So what exactly happens? Well, AIF basically is located inside the intermembrane space between the two membranes of the mitochondria. And if the cell is actually damaged in some way, what happens is this AIF molecule is released from the mitochondria, it travels into the cytoplasm and then it moves into the nucleus of that cell. It binds on to the DNA of that cell and ultimately destroys that DNA and that causes the death of that cell. So ultimately, this is basically done by cells such as neurons. So nerve cells in our body can commit apoptosis via this process by using the apatosis inducing factors.
