SLC25A21 solute carrier family 25 member 21

Gene ID: 89874, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ODC; ODC1; MTDPS18

Summary

SLC25A21 is a homolog of the S. cerevisiae ODC proteins, mitochondrial carriers that transport C5-C7 oxodicarboxylates across inner mitochondrial membranes. One of the species transported by ODC is 2-oxoadipate, a common intermediate in the catabolism of lysine, tryptophan, and hydroxylysine in mammals. Within mitochondria, 2-oxoadipate is converted into acetyl-CoA.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]
