Abstract

In recent years, it has become apparent that there exist several roles for respiratory complex II beyond metabolism. These include: (i) succinate signaling, (ii) reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, (iii) ischemic preconditioning, (iv) various disease states and aging, and (v) a role in the function of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (mKATP) channel. This review will address the involvement of complex II in each of these areas, with a focus on how complex II regulates or may be involved in the assembly of the mKATP. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Respiratory complex II: Role in cellular physiology and disease.
