Mitochondrial 2-oxodicarboxylate carrier also known as solute carrier family 25 member 21 (SLC25A21) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC25A21 gene.It is a homolog of the S. cerevisiae ODC proteins mitochondrial carriers that transport C5-C7 oxodicarboxylates across inner mitochondrial membranes. One of the species transported by ODC is 2-oxoadipate a common intermediate in the catabolism of lysine tryptophan and hydroxylysine in mammals.
