{"symbol":"MPC1","synonyms":["MPYCD","SLC54A1","BRP44L","DJ68L15.3","CGI-129"],"name":"mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is part of an MPC1/MPC2 heterodimer that is responsible for transporting pyruvate into mitochondria. The encoded protein is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Defects in this gene are a cause of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier deficiency. Several transcript variants, some protein coding and one non-protein coding, have been found for this gene.
