| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in many tissues. Abundant in testis and kidney. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Cleaved and degraded by AFG3L2.degradation by AFG3L2 is regulated by the ability of SLC25A39 to bind iron-sulfur. In absence of mitochondrial glutathione, SLC25A39 binds iron-sulfur, preventing cleavage and degradation by AFG3L2. The presence of mitochondrial glutathione prevents iron-sulfur-binding to SLC25A39, promoting cleavage and degradation by AFG3L2. |
| Function | Mitochondrial transporter required for glutathione import into mitochondria. Glutathione, which plays key roles in oxidative metabolism, is produced exclusively in the cytosol and is imported in many organelles. Mitochondrial glutathione is required for the activity and stability of proteins containing iron-sulfur clusters, as well as erythropoiesis. |
