The Mitochondrial DNA of Malignant Cells

  • Chapter
Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology 3

Part of the book series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology ((PMSB,volume 3))

Abstract

Mitochondria have multiple functions: they control the energetic balance of animal cells and are thus essential for their survival; they are involved in the metabolism of sugars and lipids and are responsible for the synthesis of some polynucleotides and proteins. The mitochondria are the targets for the thyroid hormones.
