Recombinant Human S-adenosylmethionine mitochondrial carrier protein (SLC25A26), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q70HW3

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SLC25A26

Target Full Name

Mitochondrial S-adenosylmethionine carrier protein

Target Function

Mitochondrial solute carriers shuttle metabolites, nucleotides, and cofactors through the mitochondrial inner membrane. Specifically mediates the transport of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) into the mitochondria.

Target Involvement

Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 28 (COXPD28)

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Highly expressed in testis, with moderate expression in brain, heart, kidney, lung, skeletal muscle, pancreas, small intestine and liver, and low expression in spleen.

Target Synonyms

SLC25A26; SAMC; S-adenosylmethionine mitochondrial carrier protein; Mitochondrial S-adenosylmethionine transporter; Solute carrier family 25 member 26

Target Background

This gene is a member of the mitochondrial carrier family which includes nuclear-encoded transporters localized on the inner mitochondrial membranes. Members of the family transport important small molecules across the mitochondrial inner membrane. This protein is involved in the transport of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) into the mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 28. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
