Show abstract
The mitochondrial uptake of pyruvate is mediated by the MPC. In the present study, we investigated the functional properties of the carrier using genetically encoded fluorescent sensors. Mitochondrial lactate efflux was inhibited by >80% by both pharmacological and genetic MPC ablation. MPC-dependent pyruvate influx accelerated the efflux of lactate, a fingerprint of shared transport. The non-metabolized pyruvate analog oxamate, which was found to enter mitochondria solely through the MPC, was also able to trans-accelerate lactate. Reportedly, mitochondria can produce lactate under reductive stress; our findings indicate that the MPC participates in this energy/redox venting by exchanging pyruvate by lactate.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
