MPT refers to an alteration in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM),
Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) refers to a process involving the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), which can lead to the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, disruption of ATP synthesis, and release of pro-apoptotic factors into the cytosol. This process is critical in various physiological and pathological contexts, including cancer.
Mitochondrial permeability transition plays a significant role in cancer biology, with its dysregulation often associated with poor prognosis and protumorigenic effects. The specific roles of MPT can vary by cancer type and context.
