| Tissue Specificity | Expressed predominantly in the heart and skeletal muscle, weakly in brain and kidney. |
| Function | Mitochondrial electrogenic aspartate/glutamate antiporter that favors efflux of aspartate and entry of glutamate and proton within the mitochondria as part of the malate-aspartate shuttle. Also mediates the uptake of L-cysteinesulfinate (3-sulfino-L-alanine) by mitochondria in exchange of L-glutamate and proton. Can also exchange L-cysteinesulfinate with aspartate in their anionic form without any proton translocation. Lacks transport activity towards L-glutamine or gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). |
