Gene Ontology Help

Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, respiratory isoform Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
The respiratory isoform of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier resides in the mitochondrial inner membrane and mediates uptake of pyruvate into the mitochondrion during growth on respiratory carbon sources such as ethanol and glycerol.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
