SLC25A15 solute carrier family 25 member 15

Gene ID: 10166, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HHH; ORC1; ORNT1; LNC-HC; D13S327

Summary

This gene is a member of the mitochondrial carrier family. The encoded protein transports ornithine across the inner mitochondrial membrane from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix. The protein is an essential component of the urea cycle, and functions in ammonium detoxification and biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine. Mutations in this gene result in hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome. There is a pseudogene of this locus on the Y chromosome.[provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
