The mitochondrial carrier pathway transports non-canonical substrates with an odd number of transmembrane segments
Abstract Background The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) plays a central role in energy metabolism by transporting pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its heterodimeric composition and homology to SWEET and semiSWEET transporters set the MPC apart from the canonical mitochondrial c...
