Function | Putative transmembrane transporter that plays a role in mitochondrial metabolism via an as yet unclear mechanism (PubMed:21775425, PubMed:36114012). Originally, this mitochondrial protein was thought to act as a proton transmembrane transporter from the mitochondrial intermembrane space into the matrix, causing proton leaks through the inner mitochondrial membrane, thereby uncoupling mitochondrial membrane potential generation from ATP synthesis (PubMed:11171965, PubMed:12670931, PubMed:12734183, PubMed:9305858). However, this function is controversial and uncoupling may not be the function, or at least not the main function, but rather a consequence of more conventional metabolite transporter activity (PubMed:11707458). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P56501}; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Only in skeletal muscle and heart (PubMed:9305858). Also expressed in white and brown adipose tissues (PubMed:9305858). Is more expressed in glycolytic than in oxidative skeletal muscles |
