Adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) also known as the ADP/ATP translocator is a mitochondrial protein.

Function

ANT has long been thought to function asymmetrically as a homodimer of subunits in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The dimer was thought to be a gated pore through which ADP and ATP were exchanged between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytoplasm. The dimer hypothesis was first challenged when the three-dimensional structure of ANT was discovered to be a monomer.[1] Further work has shown that ANT functions a monomer in detergents[2] and in mitochondrial membranes.[3][4]

Types

In humans, there exist three paraologous ANT isoforms:
