Gene:
solute carrier family 25 (mitochondrial deoxynucleotide carrier), member 19
Description:
Responsible for the uptake of deoxynucleotides into the matrix of the mitochondria. Transports all four deoxy NDPs, and, less efficiently, the corresponding dNTPs. Does not transport dNMPs, NMPs, deoxynucleosides, nucleosides, purines, or pyrimidines. Supply deoxynucleotides to the mitochondrial matrix for conversion to triphosphates and incorporation into mitochondrial DNA.
