Summary
MPC2 (mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 2, HGNC:24515) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q24.2, encoding Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 2 (O95563). Mediates the uptake of pyruvate into mitochondria to maintain the balance between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in pyruvate import into mitochondria. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Part of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier complex.

- Tumor cells expressing MPC1 and MPC2 display increased mitochondrial pyruvate oxidation, with no changes in cell growth in adherent culture. (PMID:25458841)
- These results reveal a novel post-translational regulation of MPC1 by Sirt3, which is important for its activity and colon cancer cell growth. (PMID:26577410)
- a significant association between MPC2 variant rs10489202 and Schizophrenia susceptibility in Han Chinese (Meta-Analysis) (PMID:27460766)
- Our study indicates that MPC1 and MPC2 expressions are of prognostic values in PCAs and that positive expression of MPC1 or MPC2 is a predictor of favorable outcome. (PMID:27852261)
- Results indicate mitochondrial pyruvate transporter (MPC) to be the key regulatory junction perturbed by virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis leading to alteration of mitochondrial metabolic flux and regulation of acetyl-CoA formation. (PMID:28263840)
- In contrast to MPC1, which co-purifies with a host chaperone, we demonstrated that MPC2 homo-oligomers promote efficient pyruvate transport into proteoliposomes. The derived functional requirements and kinetic features of MPC2 resemble those previously demonstrated for MPC in the literature (PMID:29472561)
- Hypoxia induces lactate secretion and glycolytic efflux by downregulating MPC1/MPC2 levels in HUVEC cells. (PMID:29845198)
- MPC2 rs10489202 was genome-wide significantly associated with schizophrenia. The expression quantitative trait loci analysis in lymphoblastoid cell lines from East Asian donors revealed that MPC2 rs10489202 was specifically and significantly associated with the expression of TIPRL gene. (PMID:30087317)
- characterization of the rat ortholog (PMID:3022128)
- The data demonstrated that CtBP1 directly bound to the promoters of MPC1 and MPC2 and transcriptionally repressed them, leading to increased levels of free NADH in the cytosol and nucleus, thus positively feeding back CtBP1’s functions. (PMID:30356033)
