mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as BAC2_ARATH, BAC2. Mitochondrial arginine transporter that catalyzes the counter-exchange of arginine with lysine, ornithine, arginine, histidine and citrulline. Substrate preference in reconstituted proteoliposomes is arginine > homoarginine > citrulline > histidine > lysine > ornithine. May be involved in the delivery of arginine, released from seed reserves, to mitochondrial arginase and the export of ornithine. May contribute to proline accumulation in response to hyperosmotic stress.
