Reaction: Translocation of isocaproaldehyde from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol
- in pathway: Pregnenolone biosynthesis
Isocaproaldehyde (4-methylpentanal) is translocated from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol. The transporter that mediates this reaction is unknown. The reaction is inferred to exist because isocaproaldehyde is generated within the mitochondrion while the enzyme that reduces it to the corresponding alcohol is located in the cytosol (Matsuura et al. 1996).
