Distinct effects of tafazzin deletion in differentiated and undifferentiated mitochondria [PDF]
Mitochondrion, 2009 Tafazzin is a conserved mitochondrial protein that is required to maintain normal content and composition of cardiolipin. We used electron tomography to investigate the effect of tafazzin deletion on mitochondrial structure and found that cellular differentiation plays a crucial role in the manifestation of abnormalities. This conclusion was reached by

Phosphatidylglycerol Supplementation Alters Mitochondrial Morphology and Cardiolipin Composition
Membranes, 2022 The pathogenic variant of the TAZ gene is directly associated with Barth syndrome. Because tafazzin in the mitochondria is responsible for cardiolipin (CL) remodeling, all molecules related to the metabolism of CL can affect or be affected by TAZ ...
