C1qTNF-related protein-6 mediates fatty acid oxidation via the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase.

abstract：:A simple technique for rapid isolation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from animal cells is described. The method is based on the selective alkaline denaturation procedure of Birnboim and Doly [(1979) Nucleic Acids Res. 7, 1513-1523] and avoids the use of CsCl gradient centrifugation. The yield of mtDNA is comparable to ...
