Slc25a2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable L-arginine transmembrane transporter activity; L-lysine transmembrane transporter activity; and L-ornithine transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in L-alpha-amino acid transmembrane transport and ornithine metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in medulla oblongata basal plate mantle layer and pons mantle layer. Orthologous to human SLC25A2 (solute carrier family 25 member 2).

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 mouse 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.
