Molecular, functional, and pathological aspects of the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier

Physiology (Bethesda). 2006 Aug:21:242-9. doi: 10.1152/physiol.00005.2006.

Abstract

In providing the cell with ATP generated by oxidative phosphorylation, the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier plays a central role in aerobic eukaryotic cells. Combining biochemical, genetic, and structural approaches contributes to understanding the molecular mechanism of this essential transport system, the dysfunction of which is implicated in neuromuscular diseases.
