Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier 2 (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Transporter, Membrane Protein
01
Overview
Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 2 (MPC2) is a membrane protein that forms a heterodimer with MPC1 to facilitate the transport of pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This transport is crucial for linking glycolysis to mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. MPC2 plays a key role in cellular energy production and is implicated in various diseases, making it a potential therapeutic target.
