Isolated rat kidney mitochondria are able to generate extraordinary amounts of adenosine. About one-third of the adenosine formed only results from the degradation of adenine nucleotides. Pyridine nucleotides may contribute to adenosine formation. Nevertheless, there must be an additional, as yet unidentified, acid-insoluble compound in mitochondria which is able to form a significant portion of adenosine.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
