ACLA_051330

Gene
ACLA_051330
Protein
Mitochondrial glycine transporter
Organism
Aspergillus clavatus (strain ATCC 1007 / CBS 513.65 / DSM 816 / NCTC 3887 / NRRL 1)
Length
334 amino acids
Function
Mitochondrial glycine transporter that imports glycine into the mitochondrial matrix. Plays an important role in providing glycine for the first enzymatic step in heme biosynthesis, the condensation of glycine with succinyl-CoA to produce 5-aminolevulinate (ALA) in the mitochondrial matrix.
Similarity
Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family. SLC25A38 subfamily.
Mass
35.774 kDa
