A mitochondrial pool of Raf-1 (C-RAF) molecules which do not activate MEK reportedly exert their prosurvival effects upstream of cytochrome c release by phosphorylating the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member BAD. Phosphorylation of BAD results in its translocation to the cytosol and ultimately in the inhibition of cytochrome c release.
