In the Citrate export shuttle process, two transporter systems
are used, which are:
A. Citrate-Malate exchanger and pyruvate-Pi cotransporter
B. Citrate-oxaloacetate exchanger and proton-dependent pyruvate
transporter
C. Citrate-Malate exchanger and proton-dependent pyruvate
transporter
D. Citrate-oxaloacetate exchanger and pyruvate-Pi cotransporter
Citrate malate exchanger and pyruvate-Pi cotransporter
Explanation:
Citrate malate exchanger has an acetylation site present on it and
when aetylation occurs the transport activity of the shuttle is
enhanced and with effect to this efflux of citrate in mitochondria
occurs in exchange of malate.
Pyruvate and fatty acids , Both of these fuel molecules are
transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane and then they
are converted to the acetyl CoA. ,so pyruvate is
transported into mitochondria with symport of H+ ions.
