LMPD IDLMP002285
Gene ID788
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namesolute carrier family 25 (carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase), member 20
Gene SymbolSLC25A20
SynonymsCAC; CACT
Alternate namesmitochondrial carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier protein
Chromosome3
Map Location3p21.31
SummaryThis gene product is one of several closely related mitochondrial-membrane carrier proteins that shuttle substrates between cytosol and the intramitochondrial matrix space. This protein mediates the transport of acylcarnitines into mitochondrial matrix for their oxidation by the mitochondrial fatty acid-oxidation pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency, which can cause a variety of pathological conditions such as hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest, hepatomegaly, hepatic dysfunction and muscle weakness, and is usually lethal in new born and infants.
