  • Title: Mitochondrial production of hydrogen peroxide regulation by nitric oxide and the role of ubisemiquinone.
    Author: Boveris A, Cadenas E.
    Journal: IUBMB Life; 2000; 50(4-5):245-50. PubMed ID: 11327317.
    Abstract:
    Mitochondria are considered the major cellular site for hydrogen peroxide production, a process that is kinetically controlled by the availability of oxygen and nitric oxide to cytochrome oxidase and of ADP to F1-ATPase. The multisite regulation of mitochondrial respiration and energy-transducing pathways support a critical regulatory role of mitochondrion in cell signaling pathways. The cellular steady-state levels of hydrogen peroxide and the role of mitochondria in maintaining these levels are reviewed.
