Gene nameSLC25A21
Protein nameMitochondrial 2-oxodicarboxylate carrier (ODC) (Mitochondrial 2-oxoadipate carrier) (Solute carrier family 25 member 21)
SynonymsODC
DescriptionFUNCTION: Transports dicarboxylates across the inner membranes of mitochondria by a counter-exchange mechanism . Can transport 2-oxoadipate (2-oxohexanedioate), 2-oxoglutarate, adipate (hexanedioate), glutarate, and to a lesser extent, pimelate (heptanedioate), 2-oxopimelate (2-oxoheptanedioate), 2-aminoadipate (2-aminohexanedioate), oxaloacetate, and citrate . Plays a central role in catabolism of lysine, hydroxylysine, and tryptophan, by transporting common metabolite intermediates (such as 2-oxoadipate) into the mitochondria, where it is converted into acetyl-CoA and can enter the citric acid (TCA) cycle (Probable). .
