FAMILY

mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as S2529_HUMAN, SLC25A29, C14orf69, ORNT3. Mitochondrial transporter of arginine, lysine, homoarginine, methylarginine and, to a much lesser extent, ornithine and histidine (PubMed:19287344, PubMed:24652292). Does not transport carnitine nor acylcarnitines (PubMed:24652292). Functions by both counter-exchange and uniport mechanisms (PubMed:24652292). Plays a physiolocical role in the import of basic amino acids into mitochondria for mitochondrial protein synthesis and amino acid degradation (PubMed:19287344, PubMed:24652292).
