Mpc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables pyruvate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in pyruvate decarboxylation to acetyl-CoA. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor and mitochondrial pyruvate transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial pyruvate carrier deficiency. Orthologous to human MPC1 (mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mpc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
