The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP or MPTP; also referred to as PTP, mTP or MTP) is a protein that is formed in the inner membrane of the mitochondria under certain pathological conditions such as traumatic brain injury and stroke.
Apart from exchange of ADP and ATP across the inner mitochondrial membrane, the ANT also exhibits an intrinsic uncoupling activity [1] [17] ANT is an important modulatory [18] and possible structural component of the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore, a channel involved in various pathologies whose function still remains elusive. Karch ...
PPIF is a major component of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and, thus, highly involved in mitochondrial metabolism and apoptosis, as well as in mitochondrial diseases and related conditions, including cardiac diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and muscular dystrophy. [7]
During apoptosis, VDAC modifies the mitochondrial permeability transition pore to release of apoptogenic factors such as cytochrome c. However, VDAC are not essential components of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Although cytochrome c plays an essential role in oxidative phosphorylation within the mitochondrion.
Examples of mitochondrial transport proteins include the following: The mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which opens in response to increased mitochondrial calcium (Ca 2+) load and oxidative stress [45] The mitochondrial calcium uniporter which transports calcium from the cytosol of the cell into the mitochondrial matrix [45] [46]
This fluorescence quenching response can be exploited for detecting the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and for measuring cell volume changes. [5] Calcein is commonly used for cell tracing and in studies of endocytosis, cell migration, and gap junctions. [6]
Apoptosis regulator BAX, also known as bcl-2-like protein 4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BAX gene. [5] BAX is a member of the Bcl-2 gene family.BCL2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities.
The dimeric mitochondrial protein encoded by this gene is known to induce apoptosis, even in the presence of BCL2. [9] Change of BNIP3 expression along other members of the Bcl-2 family measured by qPCR captures important characteristics of malignant transformation, and are defined as markers of resistance toward cell death, a key hallmark of ...
