The field of mitochondrial physiology might gain by aiming at a consensus on the abbreviation for 'mitochondrial'. It is not best practice to use in the same context 'mt' for '''mtDNA''', but 'mi' for '''miCK''' (mitochondrial [[creatine kinase]]; compare miRNA), and 'm' for '''mPTP''' (mitochondrial [[Talk:Mitochondria|permeability transition pore]]). The use of 'mt' in mtDNA seems to be most common and robust, hence the suggestion to use '''mtCK''', etc. --[[User:Gnaiger Erich|Gnaiger Erich]] 07:01, 24 April 2012 (CEST)

Mitochondria

Description

Mitochondria (Greek mitos: thread; chondros: granule) are small structures within cells, which function in cell respiration as powerhouses or batteries. Mitochondria belong to the bioblasts of Richard Altmann. Abbreviation: mt, as generally used in mtDNA. Singular: mitochondrion (bioblast); plural: mitochondria (bioblasts).

Abbreviation: mt




The field of mitochondrial physiology might gain by aiming at a consensus on the abbreviation for 'mitochondrial'. It is not best practice to use in the same context 'mt' for mtDNA, but 'mi' for miCK (mitochondrial creatine kinase; compare miRNA), and 'm' for mPTP (mitochondrial permeability transition pore).
