    Background

    Mitochondrial carriers are integral proteins of the mitochondrial inner membrane that transport metabolites, nucleotides, and co-factors between the cytosol and the mitochondria (1). The calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein ARALAR (SLC25A12, AGC1) is an aspartate-glutamate exchange protein responsible for transporting mitochondrial aspartate across the mitochondrial inner membrane in exchange for cytosolic glutamate (2,3). ARALAR and other proteins of the aspartate-glutamate carrier (AGC) group are required for the transfer of mitochondrial aspartate to the cytosol, a key step in urea synthesis (4). Research studies using ARALAR-knockout mice indicate that ARALAR plays an important role in proper CNS myelination. Mice lacking ARALAR suffer from hypomyelination as a result of a lack of oligodendrocyte maturation caused by decreased brain N-acetylaspartate levels (5). Mutation of the corresponding SLC25A12 gene can result in global cerebral hypomyelination and severe psychomotor retardation, caused by deficient ARALAR activity and limited mitochondrial aspartate efflux (6).
