Abstract excerpt
MPV17 is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, and its deficiency can cause mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion, increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), and promote apoptosis in several cell types, suggesting that MPV17 plays a protective role in cells although the underlying mechanism remains unknown. To test whether MPV17 is also protective in diabetic kidney disease, we treated Mpv17-deficient mice with...
