About Mpc2

Summary

Contributes to pyruvate transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within mitochondrial acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process from pyruvate; mitochondrial pyruvate transmembrane transport; and positive regulation of Insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in early conceptus and embryo. Orthologous to human MPC2 (mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
