Summary: Enables pyruvate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process from pyruvate. Acts upstream of or within mitochondrial pyruvate transmembrane transport and positive regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; heart; and liver. Orthologous to human MPC2 (mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
