Abstract
Mitochondrial porin (2 ng/ml) being added to the rat liver mitoplasts considerably stimulates the respiration in the third and uncoupled states. As the same effect was observed previously with the addition of outer membrane fraction to the mitoplast suspension, it is concluded that mitochondrial porin participates in regulation of the mitochondria respiration and, probably, is the natural activator of the ADP/ATP carrier function.
