MTCH2 acts as a novel inhibitory receptor to suppress germ cell mitophagy by tethering BECN1, thereby maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and male fertility
These findings establish MTCH2 as an essential negative regulator of mitophagy that partners with BECN1 to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, thereby ensuring normal spermatogenesis and male fertility.
