Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier is a nuclear encoded protein, which catalyzes the exchange of ATP generated in mitochondria with ADP produced in the cytosol. In humans, mutations in the major ADP/ATP carrier gene, ANT1, are involved in several degenerative mitochondrial pathologies, leading to instability of mitochondrial DNA. Recessive mutations have been associated with mitochondrial myopathy and...
