ID:CMC1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein Aralar1; AltName: Full=Mitochondrial aspartate glutamate carrier 1; AltName: Full=Solute carrier family 25 member 12; FUNCTION: Catalyzes the calcium-dependent exchange of cytoplasmic glutamate with mitochondrial aspartate across the mitochondrial inner membrane. May have a function in the urea cycle. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: High levels in heart and skeletal muscle, low in brain and very low in kidney. DISEASE: Defects in SLC25A12 are the cause of global cerebral hypomyelination (GCHM) [MIM:612949]. A disorder with onset in infancy and characterized by severe psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, seizures, hypomyelination of the central nervous system, with the gray matter appearing relatively unaffected. MISCELLANEOUS: Binds calcium. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family. SIMILARITY: Contains 4 EF-hand domains. SIMILARITY: Contains 3 Solcar repeats.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
