SLC25A10


Description

The SLC25A10 gene encodes a mitochondrial transporter protein known as the dicarboxylate carrier (DIC). This protein plays a vital role in cellular energy production by mediating the exchange of dicarboxylate anions, such as malate and succinate, across the mitochondrial inner membrane. This exchange is essential for the proper functioning of the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, the primary pathways for ATP generation within mitochondria.
