Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing in a cellular organelle, lipid bilayer of an organelle envelope. Any macromolecular complex composed of two or more polypeptide subunits, which may or may not be identical. Protein complexes may have other associated non-protein prosthetic groups, such as nucleotides, metal ions or other small molecules. Either of the lipid bilayers that surround the mitochondrion and form the mitochondrial envelope. A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which the constituent parts function together. Any constituent part of a mitochondrion, a semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. Any constituent part of a mitochondrial membrane, either of the lipid bilayers that surround the mitochondrion and form the mitochondrial envelope. A large complex of the mitochondrial outer membrane that mediates transport of proteins into all mitochondrial compartments. The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the mitochondrial envelope. Any constituent part of a membrane, a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins.
