MPC1 [YGL080W]
Highly conserved subunit of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC); MPC is a mitochondrial inner membrane complex that mediates pyruvate uptake and comprises Mpc1p and Mpc2p during fermentative growth, or Mcp1p and Mpc3p during respiratory growth; null mutant displays slow growth that is complemented by expression of human or mouse ortholog; mutation in human ortholog MPC1 is associated with lactic acidosis and hyperpyruvatemia
Synonyms: MPC1, FMP37, MPC1p, FMP37p, P53157 ...
