Not only does MTP appear to be bound to Complex I, but it also appears to channel substrates between the two enzymes. This is especially interesting, because up until then it was unknown exactly how MTP was associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane, and this discovery may provide the explanation.
MTP is linked to Complex I, and it also appears to act as a conduit for substrates between the two enzymes. This finding is particularly significant because prior to this discovery, the precise manner in which MTP was associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane remained unknown, and this revelation may offer an explanation.
