OPA1 in Cardiovascular Health and Disease.
CURRENT DRUG TARGETS(2015)
摘要
Mitochondria are known to play crucial roles in normal cellular physiology and in more recent years they have been implicated in a wide range of pathologies. Central to both these roles is their ability to alter their shape interchangeably between two different morphologies: an elongated interconnected network and a fragmented discrete phenotype - processes which are under the regulation of the mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins, respectively. In this review article, we focus on the mitochondrial fusion protein optic atrophy protein 1 (OPA1) in cardiovascular health and disease and we explore its role as a potential therapeutic target for treating cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
