Abstract
The monocarboxylate (pyruvate) transporter from pea ( Pisum sativum) mitochondria was identified by means of a specific monoclonal antibody. The antibody blocked pyruvate-dependent oxaloacetate metabolism without interfering with the metabolism of malate, α-ketoglutarate, or glycine. The antibody also blocked the pyruvate/pyruvate exchange reaction of the partially purified transporter reconstituted into phospholipid membranes. Using the specific monoclonal antibody, the transporter was identified on Western blots as a minor 19 kDa protein.
