Abstract excerpt
Adenine nucleotide translocase (Ant) is the most abundant protein on the mitochondrial inner membrane (MIM) primarily involved in ADP/ATP exchange. Ant also possesses a discrete membrane uncoupling activity. Specific mis-sense mutations in the human Ant1 cause autosomal dominant Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia (adPEO), mitochondrial myopathy and cardiomyopathy, which are commonly manifested by fractional...
