SLC25A29

Solute carrier family 25, member 29 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC25A29 gene.^[1] The gene is also known as CACL and C14orf69.^[1] SLC25A29 belongs to a protein family of solute carriers called the mitochondrial carriers.^[1]

Model organisms have been used in the study of SLC25A29 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Slc25a29^{tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[6][7]} was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.^[8][9][10]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.^[4][11] Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice, but no significant abnormalities were observed.^[4]
