mitochondrial transport

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

Transport of substances into, out of or within a mitochondrion. [GOC:ai]

Mitochondrial transport is a complex process that involves the movement of mitochondria within cells. These organelles are responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP, and their proper localization is crucial for cellular function. Mitochondrial transport relies on a network of motor proteins and cytoskeletal tracks that guide the movement of mitochondria throughout the cell. There are two primary modes of mitochondrial transport: 1) **Microtubule-based transport** utilizes the motor proteins kinesin and dynein, which move along microtubule tracks. Kinesin carries mitochondria towards the cell periphery, while dynein moves them towards the cell center. 2) **Actin-based transport** employs myosin motors that travel along actin filaments. This form of transport is typically associated with short-range movements within the cell. The direction and extent of mitochondrial transport are regulated by a variety of factors, including cellular energy demands, signaling pathways, and the physical environment. For instance, when cells need more energy, mitochondria are often transported towards regions of high ATP consumption. Conversely, during stress or injury, mitochondria may be transported to regions where they can provide protective functions. Furthermore, mitochondrial transport is essential for cellular processes such as cell division, differentiation, and apoptosis. During cell division, mitochondria must be distributed evenly between the daughter cells to ensure proper function. During differentiation, mitochondrial transport plays a role in directing the development of specific cell types. Finally, during apoptosis, mitochondria release proteins that initiate cell death, and their transport can influence the timing and location of this process.'
