High impact information on AAC1

This approach has identified six of the nine carriers represented highly in expressed sequence tag databases: adenine nucleotide translocator (At3g8580 and At5g13490), dicarboxylate/tricarboxylate carrier (At5g19760), phosphate carrier (At5g14040), uncoupling protein (At3g54110), and a carrier gene of unknown function (At4g01100) [1].
The sequence of an adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) gene of Arabidopsis contains three introns, the first of which is located upstream of the assumed initiation codon [2].

Anatomical context of AAC1

For AAC1 and AAC2 from rat, apparent Km values of about 40 microm for ADP, and 105 microm or 140 microm, respectively, for ATP have been determined, similar to the data reported for isolated rat mitochondria [3].
