Next, as ANT2 has been implicated in intracellular ATP homeostasis29, 30, 31 and is reported to increase intracellular ATP in some types of cancer cells,33, 34, 35 we then surmised that sesaminol and troglitazone reduced the intracellular ATP levels by inhibiting ANT2 in cancer cells. Here, SLC25A6 is linked to cancer.
