Biology:Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier

From HandWiki

The mitochondrial pyruvate carriers are composed of:[1][2]

The pyruvate carriers are involved in mitochondrial metabolism but it is possible to compensate for their loss of function.[3] They have been studied for a role in cardiac stress adaption.[4]

Inhibitors

MPC inhibitors include drugs like UK-5099 (JXL001), JXL069, and PP405.[5][6]
