Slc25a15 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables L-ornithine transmembrane transporter activity and antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in L-arginine transmembrane transport; L-lysine transmembrane transport; and mitochondrial L-ornithine transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder; citrullinemia; and ornithine translocase deficiency. Orthologous to human SLC25A15 (solute carrier family 25 member 15).

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 rat Slc25a15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
