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  |
