2.A.29.14.1
Mitochondrial Ca2+-activated aspartate/glutamate antiporter carrier with Ca2+-binding EF-hand domain, Aralar of 678 aas and possibly 6 TMSs. The microRNAs, miR-302b and miR-372, regulate mitochondrial metabolism via the SLC25A12 transporter, which controls MAVS-mediated antiviral innate immunity (Yasukawa et al. 2020).  Thus, miRNAs modulate the innate immune response by altering mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic demand.

Accession Number:O75746
Protein Name:CMC1 aka SLC25A12 aka ARALAR1
Length:678
Molecular Weight:74762.00
Species:Homo sapiens (Human) [9606]
Number of TMSs:3
Location1 / Topology2 / Orientation3: Mitochondrion inner membrane1 / Multi-pass membrane protein2
Substrate glutamate(2-), aspartate(2-)
