Fig 1. SLC25A38 encodes a mitochondrial glycine importer.

Fig 1

A) Illustration of the potential roles for SLC25A38 in the synthesis of heme. SLC25A38 has been postulated to act as a glycine or serine importer for the subsequent synthesis of heme/hemoglobin. B) Yeast cells of the indicated genotypes were grown to mid-log phase and cells were processed for heme determination. Wild type cell heme content was 31.1 fmol/μg protein. Heme values are the mean ± SEM of at least six independent determinations with p values determined using t-test.
