Predicted to enable L-aspartate transmembrane transporter activity and L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in L-glutamate transmembrane transport; aspartate transmembrane transport; and malate-aspartate shuttle. Predicted to act upstream of or within transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural keel; central nervous system; neural plate; neural tube; and pronephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Asperger syndrome; autistic disorder; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 39. Orthologous to human SLC25A12 (solute carrier family 25 member 12).
