Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity and antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in L-arginine transmembrane transport; L-lysine transmembrane transport; and mitochondrial L-ornithine transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in liver; metanephros; midgut; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder; citrullinemia; and ornithine translocase deficiency. Orthologous to human SLC25A15 (solute carrier family 25 member 15).
