Slc25a12 - solute carrier family 25 (mitochondrial carrier, Aralar), member 12

Predicted to enable acidic amino acid transmembrane transporter activity; calcium ion binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within malate-aspartate shuttle. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in central nervous system; embryo; and retina. Used to study developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 39. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Asperger syndrome; autistic disorder; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 39. Orthologous to human SLC25A12 (solute carrier family 25 member 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
