SFXN3


Description

The SFXN3 (sideroflexin 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 10.

SFXN3 is a mitochondrial protein that transports serine into mitochondria. This is a key step in the one-carbon metabolism pathway, where serine is converted to glycine and formate. These products then leave the mitochondria and enter the cytosol, where they are used to produce charged folates, which act as one-carbon donors.

SFXN3 is also known as BA108L7.2, SFX3, SLC56A3.
