Tissue-specific mitochondrial HIGD1C promotes oxygen sensitivity in carotid body chemoreceptors
Mammalian carotid body arterial chemoreceptors function as an early warning system for hypoxia, triggering acute life-saving arousal and cardiorespiratory reflexes.To serve this g35 coupe fender role, carotid body glomus cells are highly sensitive to decreases in oxygen availability.While the mitochondria and plasma membrane signaling proteins have
