The mitochondrial phosphatase PPTC7 has previously been linked to the maintenance of mitochondrial content, but the mechanisms underlying this phenotype remain unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate that loss of Pptc7 results in metabolic defects and further suggest that PPTC7 is a regulator of receptor-mediated mitophagy.
