| Primary Identifier | IPR004686 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Mtc |
| description | The MTC family consists of a limited number of homologues, all from eukaryotes. One member of the family has been functionally characterised as a tricarboxylate carrier from rat liver mitochondria. The rat liver mitochondrial tricarboxylate carrier has been reported to transport citrate, cis-aconitate, threo-D-isocitrate, D- and L-tartrate, malate, succinate and phosphoenolpyruvate. It presumably functions by a proton symport mechanism. The rest of the characterised proteins appear to be sideroflexins involved in iron transport. |
