Preferred Label : membrane potential, mitochondrial;
MeSH definition : The voltage difference, normally maintained at approximately -180mV, across the INNER
MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE, by a net movement of positive charge across the membrane.
It is a major component of the PROTON MOTIVE FORCE in MITOCHONDRIA used to drive the
synthesis of ATP.;
