SLC25A14 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the transport of molecules across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This protein specifically facilitates the movement of nucleotide and nucleotide derivatives, which are essential for various cellular processes, including energy production and metabolism. Mutations in the SLC25A14 gene can lead to metabolic disorders, affecting how cells generate energy. Research on this gene helps scientists understand its role in diseases and may contribute to developing targeted therapies for conditions related to mitochondrial dysfunction.
