Characterization of a Novel Mitochondrial Ascorbate Transporter From Rat Liver and Potato Mitochondria
The Mitochondrial Ascorbic Acid Transporter (MAT) from both rat liver and potato mitochondria has been reconstituted in proteoliposomes. The protein has a molecular mass in the range of 28–35 kDa and catalyzes saturable, temperature and pH dependent, unidirectional ascorbic acid transport. The trans...
