BAC1

Gene
BAC1
Protein
Mitochondrial arginine transporter BAC1
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
311 amino acids
Function
Mitochondrial arginine transporter that catalyzes the counter-exchange of arginine with lysine, ornithine, arginine and histidine. Substrate preference in reconstituted proteoliposomes is arginine > lysine > ornithine > histidine. May be involved in the delivery of arginine, released from seed reserves, to mitochondrial arginase and the export of ornithine.
Similarity
Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family.
