Table 3.13 The multifarious functions of the mitochondrion.

Process Function

(^1) ATP synthesis (oxidative
phosphorylation, or oxphos)
Energy supply for the molecular machines
performing cell functions
2 H+ extrusion pH regulation of the cytoplasm (?)
(^3) Ca^2 + uptake Ca^2 + regulation of the cytoplasm (?)
(^4) K+/Na+ exchange Ion homeostasis (?)
(^5) Heat production Thermal regulation of the cell
(^6) Cytochrome C release To trigger of apoptosis (or programmed cell death)
(^7) Citric acid cycle To produce NADH from pyruvate for oxphos
(^8) b-Oxidation of fatty acids To produce NADH from fatty acids for oxphos
(^9) Urea cycle To remove toxic ammonia
10 Actomyosin-directed motions Copy number and spatial organization of mtDNA
and goal-directed mitochondrial migration
(“mitochondrial chemotaxis”?)
