NCIt definition : Human SLC25A20 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p21.31 and is approximately
42 kb in length. This allele, which encodes mitochondrial carnitine/acylcarnitine
carrier protein, is involved in the transport of carnitine out of the mitochondrion
and the transport of acylcarnitines into the mitochondrial matrix. Mutations in the
gene are associated with carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase deficiency.;
