Predicted to enable alpha-ketoglutarate transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial alpha-ketoglutarate transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including integumental system; limb; liver; respiratory system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. Orthologous to human SLC25A21 (solute carrier family 25 member 21). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
