SLC25A32
Description
SLC25A32, also known as the mitochondrial dicarboxylate carrier (DIC), is a transmembrane protein that plays a crucial role in the transport of dicarboxylates, such as malate and succinate, across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This transport is essential for various metabolic processes, including the citric acid cycle, gluconeogenesis, and the regulation of mitochondrial redox state. SLC25A32 is widely expressed in various tissues and organs, and its dysfunction has been linked to several diseases.
