The left panels are high resolution microscope images showing the donut shaped outer mitochondrial membranes. SLC25A46 unlike typical mitochondrial transporters localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Middle panels: Visualization of the inter-connected mitochondrial network by photoactivation of mitochondria in a HeLa cell. Right panels: Electron micrographs showing a mitochondrial constriction site reminiscent of a mitochondrial fission event.
