The H+-ATP synthase is a reversible engine of mitochondria that synthesizes or hydrolyzes
ATP upon changes in cell physiology. ATP synthase dysfunction is involved in the onset and
progression of diverse human pathologies. During ischemia, the ATP hydrolytic activity of
the enzyme is inhibited by the ATPase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1). The expression of IF1 in
human tissues and its participation in the development of human pathology are unknown.
Here, we have developed monoclonal antibodies against human IF1 and determined its …
