Summary: This intronless gene encodes a protein that localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane and likely functions as a transporter of small molecules such as ornithine. This gene is located between the protocadherin beta and gamma gene clusters on chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

characterized mutations of the proposed substrate binding site in ORC1 and ORC2; demonstrated that the residue at position 179 in the 2 soforms is largely responsible for the difference in their substrate specificity;concluded that Arg-179 is a key residue in the opening of the carrier to the matrix side

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
