SLC25A10 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the transport of specific molecules across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This protein primarily facilitates the exchange of malate and succinate, which are important for cellular metabolism and energy production. Mutations or dysfunctions in the SLC25A10 gene can lead to metabolic disorders, affecting how cells generate energy. Understanding this gene is crucial for studying various diseases and developing potential treatments that target mitochondrial function.
