Mitochondria/Adipose/Epithelial Flashcards
What important proteins are found at inner membrane of mitochondria?
proteins of oxphos (ATP generation)
What important protein is on outer membrane of mitochondria?
voltage dependent anion channel (transfers ATP to cytosol)
What important proteins are found intermembrane space of mitochondria?
enzymes that use ATP from oxphos
What important proteins are found in matrix of mitochondria?
Enzymes of CAC and beta oxidation
What protein in mitochondria triggers cell death? Where is it found?
Cytochrome C; intermembrane space
Describe steps of oxphos for ATP snthesis.
NADH reduction (by complexes) –> H+ in matrix –> complexes bring H+ to intermembrane space (creates gradient) –> ATP synthase brings H+ back to matrix
How does ATP get from mitochondrial matrix to cytosol?
- ATP/ADP exchange protein transfers ATP to intermembrane space
- Voltage dependent anion channels of outer membrane bring ATP to cytosol
What is chemiosmotic coupling?
ATP synthasee- ATP synthesis via energy from proton gradient
What are the CAC and beta oxidation products in the mitochondrial matrix?
CO2, reduced NADH
Describe the conformations of the mitocchondria.
orthodox- prominent cristae, large matrix, low oxphos
condensed- large intermemrane space, high oxphos
What is unilocular adipose tissue?
white adipose tissue
what is multilocular adipose tissue?
brown adipose tissue
What hormones/other stuff are secreted by WAT?
leptin (peptide hormone), angiotensin (HTN), steroid hormones (activated)
also cytokines and growth factorss
When do you have the most BAT?
fetus
What activates mobilization of BAT?
norepinephrine stim lipolysis
Describe thermogenic activity of BAT.
UCP-1 (from mitochondria protein) uncouples FA oxidation from ATP synthase, instead proton gradient produces heat
