| YMC1 | Secondary mitochondrial inner membrane glycine transporter; required with HEM25 for the transport of glycine into mitochondria for the initiation of heme biosynthesis; proposed role in oleate metabolism and glutamate biosynthesis; member of the mitochondrial carrier (MCF) family; localizes to the vacuole in response to H2O2; YMC1 has a paralog, YMC2, that arose from the whole genome duplication. (307 aa) | ||||
| HEM25 | Mitochondrial glycine transporter; required for the transport of glycine into mitochondria for initiation of heme biosynthesis, with YMC1 acting as a secondary transporter; homolog of human SLC25A38, a mitochondrial glycine transporter associated with nonsyndromic autosomal recessive congenital sideroblastic anemia; human SLC25A38 can complement the heme deficiency associated with the null mutant; GFP-fusion protein is induced in response to the DNA-damaging agent MMS.
