Background
This gene is a member of the mitochondrial carrier subfamily of solute carrier protein genes. The product of this gene functions as a gated pore that translocates ADP from the cytoplasm into the mitochondrial matrix and ATP from the mitochondrial matrix into the cytoplasm. The protein is implicated in the function of the permability transition pore complex (PTPC), which regulates the release of mitochondrial products that induce apoptosis. The human genome contains several non-transcribed pseudogenes of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013],function:Catalyzes the exchange of ADP and ATP across the mitochondrial inner membrane. May participate in the formation of the permeability transition pore complex (PTPC) responsible for the release of mitochondrial products that triggers apoptosis.,miscellaneous:The gene encoding for this protein is located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of X and Y chromosomes.,miscellaneous:The transmembrane helices are not perpendicular to the plane of the membrane, but cross the membrane at an angle. Odd-numbered transmembrane helices exhibit a sharp kink, due to the presence of a conserved proline residue.,similarity:Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family.,similarity:Contains 3 Solcar repeats.,subunit:Homodimer. Interacts with influenza A virus PB1-F2 protein and HIV-1 Vpr.,
