Term Name: mitochondrial permeability transition pore complex
Synonyms: mitochondrial PT pore complex, MPTP complex, PTPC
Definition: A protein complex that connects the inner and outer membranes of animal mitochondria and acts as a pore that can open transiently to allow free diffusion of solutes between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytosol. The pore complex is formed of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) and cyclophilin-D (CyP-D).
