Gene information for SLC25A15 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10166
Official gene symbolSLC25A15
Full namesolute carrier family 25 (mitochondrial carrier; ornithine transporter) member 15
Aliases,D13S327,HHH,ORC1,ORNT1,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the mitochondrial carrier family. The encoded protein transports ornithine across the inner mitochondrial membrane from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix. The protein is an essential component of the urea cycle, and functions in ammonium detoxification and biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine. Mutations in this gene result in hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome. There is a pseudogene of this locus on the Y chromosome.
