SLC25A2 Gene Summary [Human]
This intronless gene encodes a protein that localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane and likely functions as a transporter of small molecules such as ornithine. This gene is located between the protocadherin beta and gamma gene clusters on chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human SLC25A2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

- lysine transporter
- ornithine transporter
- Mitochondrial carrier protein
- L-amino acid transporter
- protein binding
