General Information
Term mitochondrial protein catabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0035694 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a mitochondrial protein. This process is necessary to maintain the healthy state of mitochondria and is thought to occur via the induction of an intramitochondrial lysosome-like organelle that acts to eliminate the damaged oxidised mitochondrial proteins without destroying the mitochondrial structure.[ PubMed:21264221 PubMed:21264228 ]
Also Known As"catabolism of mitochondrial protein" ; "degradation of damaged mitochondrial protein"
