The role of complex II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in cell death induction

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Complex II of the respiratory chain (RC) recently emerged as a prominent regulator of cell death. In both cancer as well as neurodegenerative diseases, mutations in its subunits have been found along with other genetic alterations indirectly affecting this complex. Moreover, anticancer compounds were developed that target complex II and cause cell death in a tumour-specific way. I found evidence that this protein...
