Members of the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25) can transport carboxylates, amino acids, nucleotides and cofactors across the inner mitochondrial membrane, thereby connecting cytosolic and matrix functions. The main physiological role of mitochondrial basic amino acids transporter (SLC25A29) is to carry basic amino acids into the mitochondrion. It transports arginine (L-Arg), lysine (L-Lys), homoarginine (homoArg), methylarginine (methylArg) and, to a much lesser extent, ornithine (L-Orn) and histidine (L-His) (Porcelli et al. 2014).
