Mpc1 - mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1

Predicted to enable pyruvate transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial pyruvate transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor and mitochondrial acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process from pyruvate. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be integral component of mitochondrial inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial pyruvate carrier deficiency. Orthologous to human MPC1 (mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
