Mitochondria are involved in key cellular functions including energy production, metabolic homeostasis, and apoptosis. Normal mitochondrial function is preserved by several interrelated mechanisms. One mechanism - intramitochondrial quality control (IMQC) - is represented by conserved proteases distributed across mitochondrial compartments.

FPC (fibrocystin or polyductin) is a single transmembrane receptor-like protein, responsible for the human autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). It was recently proposed that FPC undergoes a Notch-like cleavage and subsequently the cleaved carboxy(C)-terminal fragment translocates to the nucleus.

Insulin secretion is mainly regulated by blood glucose concentration. On the other hand, changes in peripheral insulin sensitivity induce compensatory adaptations in pancreatic β-cells to maintain normoglycaemia. Tumour presence causes dramatic alterations in glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion because of
