Protein attributes

Sequence length	301 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Mediates the transport of acylcarnitines of different length across the mitochondrial inner membrane from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix for their oxidation by the mitochondrial fatty acid-oxidation pathway.
Subcellular location	Mitochondrion inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Involvement in disease	Defects in SLC25A20 are the cause of carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency (CACT deficiency) [MIM:212138]. It is an autosomal recessive deficiency in mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids. It is usually lethal within a few hours or days after birth. Symptoms characterizing its normally severe clinical phenotype include fatty hepatomegaly with abnormal liver function, cardiomyopathy, muscle weakness and episodes of life-threatening coma, which eventually lead to death. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family. Contains 3 Solcar repeats.
