Membrane-bound ET pathway

Description

The membrane-bound electron transfer-pathway (mET-pathway) consists in mitochondria mainly of respiratory complexes CI, CII, electron transferring flavoprotein complex (CETF), glycerophosphate dehydrogenase complex (CGpDH), and choline dehydrogenase, with convergent electron flow at the Q-junction (Coenzyme Q), and the two downstream respiratory complexes connected by cytochrome c, CIII and CIV, with oxygen as the final electron acceptor. The mET-pathway is the terminal (downstream) module of the mitochondrial ET-pathway and can be isolated from the ET-pathway in submitochondrial particles (SmtP).

Abbreviation: mET-pathway
