SLC25A38


Description

SLC25A38, also known as the mitochondrial dicarboxylate carrier, is a gene that encodes a protein responsible for transporting dicarboxylates across the inner mitochondrial membrane. These dicarboxylates, such as malate and succinate, are crucial intermediates in the citric acid cycle and other metabolic pathways. The SLC25A38 protein plays a vital role in maintaining mitochondrial function and energy production.
