Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is involved in both Ca(2+) signaling and cell death. The present study aimed to clarify the involvement of cyclophilin D, a peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase), in MPT induction in intact cells. To achieve this, we used C6 cells overexpressing wild-type or PPIase-deficient cyclophilin D, and measured the inner mitochondrial membrane permeability to calcein,...
