Preferred Label : Mitochondrion;
NCIt synonyms : Mitochondrial;
NCIt related terms : Mitochondria;
NCIt definition : Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells
of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Mitochondria contain distinctive ribosomes, transfer
RNAs, amino acyl t-RNA synthetases, and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria
depend upon genes within the nucleus for many essential messenger RNAs. Mitochondria
consist of two sets of membranes, a smooth continuous outer coat and an inner membrane
arranged in tubules or more often in folds that form platelike double membranes (cristae).
Mitochondria are the principal energy source of the cell and contains the cytochrome
enzymes of terminal electron transport and the enzymes of the citric acid cycle, fatty
acid oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions
of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Small structures in a cell that are found in the cytoplasm (fluid that
surrounds the cell nucleus). Mitochondria make most of the energy for the cell and
have their own genetic material that is different from the genetic material found
in the nucleus. Many diseases are caused by mutations (changes) in the DNA of mitochondria.
Mitochondria are cell organelles.;
