Mitochondrial Carrier Homolog 2

Preferred Label : Mitochondrial Carrier Homolog 2;

NCIt synonyms : Met-Induced Mitochondrial Protein; Solute Carrier Family 25 Member 50; MTCH2;

NCIt definition : Mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 (303 aa, 33 kDa) is encoded by the human MTCH2 gene. This protein is involved in the modulation of mitochondrial polarization.;

NCIt note : Mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 can bind to a truncated form of the BH3-interacting domain death agonist protein. This complex promotes apoptosis. (J. Biol. Chem. 2012; 287:15016-15023.);
