basic FUNCTION
| involved in the citrate H+ /malate exchange, important for the bioenergetics of hepatic cells |
|
plays a regulatory role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion |
|
having a role in the regulation of chromosome integrity |
|
required to prevent chromosome breaks (link between citrate metabolism, chromatin acetylation and chromosome integrity) |
|
catalyses the efflux of citrate from the mitochondrial matrix in exchange for cytosolic malate |
|
has a critical role in inflammation |
|
works with other factors in the regulation of sperm energy metabolism to sustain capacitation process and acrosome reaction |
|
maintains mitochondrial homeostasis in metabolically active, high proliferating tissues |
