ANT is an inner membrane transporter that facilitates the exchange of ATP and ADP [seven]. We display evidence that ANT contributes to haem biosynthesis by transporting its precursors into mitochondria
Haem, an endogenous porphyrin derivative, is a prosthetic group for haem proteins, which perform an essential role in oxygen transportation, respiration, sign transduction, and detoxification. Haem biosynthesis is catalyzed by…
