{{Short description|Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens}} {{cs1 config|name-list-style=vanc|display-authors=6}} {{Infobox gene}} '''Mitochondrial glycine transporter''' is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''SLC25A38'' gene. SLC25A38 is involved in mitochondrial handling of glycine and is needed for the first step in heme synthesis. Mutations in this gene can lead to an autosomal recessive form of sideroblastic anemia.<ref name="Heeney_2021">{{cite journal | vauthors = Heeney MM, Berhe S, Campagna DR, Oved JH, Kurre P, Shaw PJ, Teo J, Shanap MA, Hassab HM, Glader BE, Shah S, Yoshimi A, Ameri A, Antin JH, Boudreaux J, Briones M, Dickerson KE, Fernandez CV, Farah R, Hasle H, Keel SB, Olson TS, Powers JM, Rose MJ, Shimamura A, Bottomley SS, Fleming MD | title = SLC25A38 congenital sideroblastic anemia: Phenotypes and genotypes of 31 individuals from 24 families, including 11 novel mutations, and a review of the literature | journal = Human Mutation | volume = 42 | issue = 11 | pages = 1367–1383 | date = November 2021 | pmid = 34298585 | pmc = 8511274 | doi = 10.1002/humu.24267 }}</ref>
