SLC25A20 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SLC25A20 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p21.31 and is approximately 42 kb in length. This allele, which encodes mitochondrial carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier protein, is involved in the transport of carnitine out of the mitochondrion and the transport of acylcarnitines into the mitochondrial matrix. Mutations in the gene are associated with carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase deficiency.
