mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as MCATL_RAT, Slc25a29, Ornt3. Transports arginine, lysine, homoarginine, methylarginine and, to a much lesser extent, ornithine and histidine. Can restore ornithine transport in cells lacking the primary mitochondrial ornithine transporter SLC25A15. Does not transport carnitine nor acylcarnitines. Functions by both counter-exchange and uniport mechanisms.
