Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable alpha-ketoglutarate transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial alpha-ketoglutarate transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; immune system; integumental system; respiratory system; and visual system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 18. Orthologous to human SLC25A21 (solute carrier family 25 member 21).
