    Did you mean Mitochondrial Membrane Potential?
    GlossaryMitochondrial Membrane Potential

    electrical voltage difference across the inner mitochondrial membrane

    Mitochondrial Membrane Potential (Δψm) is the electrical voltage difference across the inner membrane of mitochondria, which is crucial for the production of ATP, the cell's main energy currency. This potential is generated by the movement of protons (H+ ions) across the membrane during cellular respiration and is essential for various cellular processes, including energy metabolism and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
