Term Information

Accession: GO:0035695
Name: mitophagy by internal vacuole formation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: MIV-mediated mitophagy
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process in which cells degrade mitochondria by inducing a vacuole-like structure which directly engulfs and degrades the unhealthy mitochondria by accumulating lysosomes. Source: GOC:autophagy, GOC:sp, GOC:bf, PMID:21264228
Comment: In this mechanism of mitochondrion degradation, the mitochondrion is directly engulfed by a lysosome-like vacuole. It is therefore distinct from canonical autophagy, which is mediated by a double-membrane autophagosome.
