What Does SMP Stand For?
SMP stands for Submitochondrial Particle
SMP, or Submitochondrial Particle, refers to a fraction of mitochondria that has been isolated and is primarily composed of the inner mitochondrial membrane and its associated proteins. These particles serve as a valuable model for studying mitochondrial functions, including oxidative phosphorylation, ATP synthesis, and the biochemistry of respiratory complexes. SMPs are instrumental in advancing our understanding of mitochondrial biology and their role in various metabolic processes.
