Cycles between the cytoplasmic-open state (c-state) and the matrix-open state (m-state): operates by the alternating access mechanism with a single substrate-binding site intermittently exposed to either the cytosolic (c-state) or matrix (m-state) side of the inner mitochondrial membrane (By similarity). Substrate exchange across the membrane occurs consecutively with one substrate being transported first, then dissociating from the substrate binding site before the second substrate binds for transport in the opposite direction (PubMed:37278158). In addition to its ADP:ATP antiporter activity, also involved in mitochondrial uncoupling and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) activity (PubMed:31883789). Plays a role in mitochondrial uncoupling by acting as a proton transporter: proton transport uncouples the proton flows via the electron transport chain and ATP synthase to reduce the efficiency of ATP production and cause mitochondrial thermogenesis (By similarity). Proton transporter activity is inhibited by ADP:ATP antiporter activity, suggesting that SLC25A4/ANT1 acts as a master regulator of mitochondrial energy output by maintaining a delicate balance between ATP production (ADP:ATP antiporter activity) and thermogenesis (proton transporter activity) (By similarity). Proton transporter activity requires free fatty acids as cofactor, but does not transport it (By similarity). Also plays a key role in mPTP opening, a non-specific pore that enables free passage of the mitochondrial membranes to solutes of up to 1.5 kDa, and which contributes to cell death (PubMed:31883789). It is however unclear if SLC25A4/ANT1 constitutes a pore-forming component of mPTP or regulates it (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of mitophagy independently of ADP:ATP antiporter activity: promotes mitophagy via interaction with TIMM44, leading to inhibit the presequence translocase TIMM23, thereby promoting stabilization of PINK1 (By similarity)","subcellular_location":"Mitochondrion inner membrane; Membrane","url":"https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P12235/entry"},"depmap":{"release":"DepMap","has_data":true,"is_common_essential":false,"resolved_as":"","url":"https://depmap.org/portal/gene/SLC25A4","classification":"Not Classified","n_dependent_lines":0,"n_total_lines":1208,"dependency_fraction":0.0},"opencell":{"profiled":false,"resolved_as":"","ensg_id":"","cell_line_id":"","localizations":[],"interactors":[],"url":"https://opencell.sf.czbiohub.org/search/SLC25A4","total_profiled":1310},"omim":[{"mim_id":"619822","title":"BCL2-LIKE 13; BCL2L13","url":"https://www.omim.org/entry/619822"},{"mim_id":"618566","title":"ADENINE NUCLEOTIDE TRANSLOCASE LYSINE METHYLTRANSFERASE; ANTKMT","url":"https://www.omim.org/entry/618566"},{"mim_id":"617184","title":"MITOCHONDRIAL DNA DEPLETION SYNDROME 12A (CARDIOMYOPATHIC TYPE), AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT; MTDPS12A","url":"https://www.omim.org/entry/617184"},{"mim_id":"615418","title":"MITOCHONDRIAL DNA DEPLETION SYNDROME 12B (CARDIOMYOPATHIC TYPE), AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE; MTDPS12B","url":"https://www.omim.org/entry/615418"},{"mim_id":"614520","title":"ENCEPHALOMYOPATHY, MITOCHONDRIAL, DUE TO VOLTAGE-DEPENDENT ANION CHANNEL DEFICIENCY","url":"https://www.omim.org/entry/614520"}],"hpa":{"profiled":true,"resolved_as":"","reliability":"Supported","locations":[{"location":"Mitochondria","reliability":"Supported"}],"tissue_specificity":"Group enriched","tissue_distribution":"Detected in many","driving_tissues":[{"tissue":"heart muscle","ntpm":240.1},{"tissue":"skeletal muscle","ntpm":191.3},{"tissue":"tongue","ntpm":323.8}],"url":"https://www.proteinatlas.org/search/SLC25A4"},"hgnc":{"alias_symbol":["T1","AAC1"],"prev_symbol":["PEO3","PEO2","ANT1"]},"alphafold":{"accession":"P12235","domains":[{"cath_id":"1.50.40.10","chopping":"1-298","consensus_level":"medium","plddt":92.3141,"start":1,"end":298}],"viewer_url":"https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/entry/P12235","model_url":"https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/files/AF-P12235-F1-model_v6.cif","pae_url":"https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/files/AF-P12235-F1-predicted_aligned_error_v6.png","plddt_mean":92.06},"mouse_models":{"mgi_url":"https://www.informatics.jax.org/marker/summary?nomen=SLC25A4","jax_strain_url":"https://www.jax.org/strain/search?query=SLC25A4"},"sequence":{"accession":"P12235","fasta_url":"https://rest.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P12235.fasta","uniprot_url":"https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P12235/entry","alphafold_viewer_url":"https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/entry/P12235"}},"corpus_meta":[{"pmid":"11713532","id":"PMC_11713532","title":"The 7SK small nuclear RNA inhibits the CDK9/cyclin T1 kinase to control transcription.","date":"2001","source":"Nature","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11713532","citation_count":565,"is_preprint":false},{"pmid":"14603320","id":"PMC_14603320","title":"Truncated TrkB-T1 mediates neurotrophin-evoked calcium signalling in glia cells.","date":"2003","source":"Nature","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14603320","citation_count":299,"is_preprint":false},{"pmid":"29550324","id":"PMC_29550324","title":"Native T1 and Extracellular Volume in Transthyretin Amyloidosis.","date":"2018","source":"JACC.
