General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function in a congenic mouse model carrying a mutated NNT gene, the absence of NNT activity results in lower total NADPH sources activity in the brain mitochondria of young mice, which is partially compensated in aged mice. Nonsynaptic mitochondria show higher NNT activity than synaptic mitochondria. In the absence of NNT, an increased release of H2O2 from mitochondria is observed when the metabolism of respiratory substrates occurs with restricted flux through relevant mitochondrial NADPH sources or when respiratory complex I is inhibited. Mitochondria from Nnt-/- brains are unable to sustain NADP in its reduced state when energized in the absence of carbon substrates Mus musculus
