Comments
Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=3; Name=1; IsoId=Q8N8R3-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q8N8R3-2; Sequence=VSP_046286, VSP_046287; Note=May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.; Name=3; IsoId=Q8N8R3-3; Sequence=VSP_055335; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
FunctionTransports arginine, lysine, homoarginine, methylarginine and, to a much lesser extent, ornithine and histidine. Does not transport carnitine nor acylcarnitines. Functions by both counter-exchange and uniport mechanisms.
Sequence CautionSequence=CAD62317.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally shortened.; Evidence= ;
SimilarityBelongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family.
SimilarityContains 3 Solcar repeats. {ECO
Subcellular LocationMitochondrion inner membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .
