Confocal fluorescence microscopy revealed that the DHCR24 overexpressed cells were protected from apoptosis in response to oxidative stress, which was accompanied by a decrease in DHCR24 content on the ER and activation of caspase-3 , suggesting that the anti-apoptotic function of DHCR24 is associated with its cleavage by caspase
