Solute carrier family 25 member 22 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC25A22 gene.
[1]
Function
This gene encodes a mitochondrial glutamate carrier. Mutations in this gene are associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
