SLC25A1 and colorectal carcinoma: Given that the functions of SLC25A1 include both the promotion of export of citrate from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm for fatty acid synthesis and the reverse import of cytosolic citrate into the mitochondria for OXPHOS, we hypothesized that SLC25A1 may play a role in the regulation of mitochondrial respiration in CRC during energy stress.
