The mitophagy receptor BNIP3L/Nix coordinates nuclear calcium signaling to modulate the muscle phenotype
10 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial quality control is critical in muscle to ensure contractile and metabolic function. BNIP3L/Nix is a BCL2 member, a mitophagy receptor, and has been implicated in muscle atrophy. Human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggest altered BNIP3L expression could predispose to mitochondrial disease. To investigate BNIP3L function, we generated a muscle-specific knockout model. bnip3l knockout mice...
