Electron transfer pathway

Description

The mitochondrial electron transfer system (ETS) transfers electrons at steady state from externally supplied reduced substrates to oxygen. It consists of the membrane-bound ETS (mETS) with enzyme complexes located in the inner mt-membrane, mt-matrix dehydrogenases generating NADH, and the transport systems involved in metabolite exchange across the mt-membranes (see ETS capacity).

Abbreviation: ETS
