Preferred Label : Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore;
MeSH definition : A multiprotein inner mitochondrial complex which opens only under certain pathological
conditions (e.g., OXIDATIVE STRESS) uncoupling the membrane leading to APOPTOSIS and
MITOCHONDRIAL TRANSMEMBRANE PERMEABILITY-DRIVEN NECROSIS particularly in CARDIOMYOCYTES
during MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.;
