Mitophagy is a mitochondrial quality control mechanism where damaged and surplus mitochondria are removed by autophagy. There are at least two different mammalian autophagy pathways: the Atg5-dependent conventional pathway and an Atg5-independent alternative pathway; the latter is involved in the erythrocyte mitophagy. In this chapter we describe the various experimental approaches to assess Atg5-indepedndent mitophagy in mammalian cells.
线粒体自噬是一种线粒体质量控制机制，受损和多余的线粒体通过自噬被清除。哺乳动物至少有两种不同的自噬途径：依赖Atg5的传统途径和不依赖Atg5的替代途径；后者参与红细胞的线粒体自噬。在本章中，我们描述了评估哺乳动物细胞中不依赖Atg5的线粒体自噬的各种实验方法。
