Gene: SLC25A39

Alternate names for this Gene: CGI-69|CGI69

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the SLC25 transporter or mitochondrial carrier family of proteins. Members of this family are encoded by the nuclear genome while their protein products are usually embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane and exhibit wide-ranging substrate specificity. Although the encoded protein is currently considered an orphan transporter, this protein is related to other carriers known to transport amino acids. This protein may play a role in iron homeostasis.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q21.31

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 25 member 39

Type of Gene: protein-coding
