Figure 1: Mitochondria contact site proteins perform a variety of functions.

Figure 1:

Mitochondria contact nearly every other membrane in the cell, and these contacts not only maintain mitochondrial distribution and morphology, but also function in metabolism and cellular homeostasis. MMCS proteins facilitate the transfer of molecules to and from mitochondria, creating a network of metabolic signaling. This figure highlights the multitude of functions performed by MMCS proteins in yeast and mammalian cells.
