Recombinant Human Calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein SCaMC-1 (SLC25A24), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q6NUK1

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SLC25A24

Target Full Name

Mitochondrial adenyl nucleotide antiporter SLC25A24

Target Function

Calcium-dependent mitochondrial solute carrier. Mediates the reversible, electroneutral exchange of Mg-ATP or Mg-ADP against phosphate ions, catalyzing the net uptake or efflux of adenine nucleotides across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Nucleotide transport is inactive when cytosolic calcium levels are low, and is activated by an increase in cytosolic calcium levels. May play a role in protecting cells against oxidative stress-induced cell death, probably by promoting the formation of calcium-phosphate precipitates in the mitochondrial matrix, and thereby buffering calcium levels in the mitochondrial matrix.

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family

Target Tissue Specificity

Present in various cell lines (at protein level). Expressed in all tissues tested. Highly expressed in testis, expressed at intermediate level in small intestine and pancreas, and weakly expressed in kidney, spleen, liver, skeletal muscle and heart.

Target Synonyms

SLC25A24; APC1; MCSC1; SCAMC1; Calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein SCaMC-1; Mitochondrial ATP-Mg/Pi carrier protein 1; Mitochondrial Ca(2+-dependent solute carrier protein 1; Small calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein 1; Solute carrier family 25 member 24

Target Background

This gene encodes a carrier protein that transports ATP-Mg exchanging it for phosphate. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
