    Summary
    Enables L-aspartate transmembrane transporter activity and uniporter activity. Involved in aspartate transmembrane transport; mitochondrial transmembrane transport; and response to oxidative stress. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in adult head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to human SLC25A27 (solute carrier family 25 member 27). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
