SLC25A16
Description
The SLC25A16 (solute carrier family 25 member 16) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 10.
The SLC25A16 gene in humans produces a protein with three repeated mitochondrial carrier protein domains. This protein resides within the inner mitochondrial membrane, facilitating the rapid movement and exchange of molecules between the cell's cytoplasm and the mitochondrial matrix. Its potential involvement in Graves' disease suggests a connection to this autoimmune condition.
This gene's protein may play a role in transporting coenzyme A into the mitochondrial matrix, but its exact physiological function remains largely unknown.
SLC25A16 is also known as D10S105E, GDA, GDC, HGT.1, ML7, hGP, hML7.
