Mitochondrial Carrier Triple Repeat Protein 6 (MCART6)

MCART6 Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family.Contains 3 Solcar repeats.A mitochondrial carriers are proteins from the solute carrier family which transfers molecules across the membranes of the mitochondria.All mitochondrial carriers are encoded by nuclear genes. Most contain a primary structure exhibiting regions of 100 homologous amino acid repeats, the N and C termini face the intermembrane space and there are six definable transmembrane segments in each carrier. All carriers also contain a common sequence, referred to as the MCF motif, in each repeated region, with some variation in one or two signature sequences.Amongst the members of the mitochondrial carrier family that have been identified, it is the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) that is responsible for importing ADP into the mitochondria and exporting ATP out of the mitochondria and into the cytosol following synthesis
