Solute Carrier Family 25, Member 41 (SLC25A41)

SLC25A41 belongs to the SLC25 family of mitochondrial carrier proteins.By searching databases for SLC25 family members, Haitina et al. (2006) identified 2 splice variants of SLC25A41. The deduced protein contains 314 amino acids. Quantitative real-time PCR of rat tissues detected highest expression of Slc25a41 in liver, testis, and all brain coronal sections examined, with weaker expression in epididymis. No expression was detected in other tissues examined.

Haitina et al. (2006) determined that the SLC25A41 gene contains 6 exons.By genomic sequence analysis, Haitina et al. (2006) mapped the human SLC25A41 gene to chromosome 19. They mapped the mouse gene to chromosome 17.
