Mitochondria Associated Membranes

**Definition:** Specialized areas of the endoplasmic reticulum in close physical contact with MITOCHONDRIA. These inter-organelle contact sites participate in the regulation of various processes such as MITOCHONDRIAL DYNAMICS; CALCIUM SIGNALING; ENERGY METABOLISM and INFLAMMATION.
