The mitochondrial matrix is the supplier of cellular ATP. The short Ca(2+)-binding mitochondrial carrier (SCaMC) is one of the two mitochondrial carriers responsible for transporting ATP across the mitochondrial inner membrane. While the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) accounts for the bulk ADP/ATP recycling in the matrix, the function of SCaMC is important for mitochondrial activities that depend on adenine nucleotides, such as gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis. A key difference between SCaMC ...[more]
