The malate-α-ketoglutarate antiporter is a membrane protein found in the inner mitochondrial membrane that facilitates the exchange of malate and α-ketoglutarate between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytosol. This transport process is crucial for maintaining metabolic balance, allowing for the efficient transfer of carbon skeletons during cellular respiration and the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
