Enables L-arginine transmembrane transporter activity; L-lysine transmembrane transporter activity; and L-ornithine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in L-alpha-amino acid transmembrane transport and ornithine metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion.
RGD Description
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]
