SLC25A44 — Solute carrier family 25 member 44
SLC25A44 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Mitochondrial solute transporter which transports branched- chain amino acid (BCAA; valine, leucine and isoleucine) into mitochondria in brown adipose tissue (BAT) (By similarity). BAT is involved in BCAA catabolism and actively utilizes BCAA in the mitochondria for thermogenesis
