== Structure ==
The ''SLC25A5'' gene belongs to the ANT gene family, which itself belongs to the superfamily that includes genes encoding brown fat mitochondrial uncoupling proteins and mitochondrial phosphate carrier proteins. Compared to the other gene isoforms, ''SLC25A5'' possesses different motifs, including a CCACT sequence rather than the canonical CCAAT sequence upstream of the TATA box, as well as five SP1 binding sites.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ku DH, Kagan J, Chen ST, Chang CD, Baserga R, Wurzel J | title = The human fibroblast adenine nucleotide translocator gene.

== Function ==
This gene is a member of the mitochondrial carrier subfamily of solute carrier protein genes. The product of this gene, adenine nucleotide translocator 2 (ANT2), functions as a major constituent of the mitochondrial permeability-transition pore complex that catalyzes the exchange of mitochondrial ATP with cytosolic ADP.<ref name = "entrez"/><ref name= "pmid23783460"/><ref name=pmid20797633>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ito S, Tan LJ, Andoh D, Narita T, Seki M, Hirano Y, Narita K, Kuraoka I, Hiraoka Y, Tanaka K | title = MMXD, a TFIIH-independent XPD-MMS19 protein complex involved in chromosome segregation | journal = Molecular Cell | volume = 39 | issue = 4 | pages = 632–40 | date = Aug 2010 | pmid = 20797633 | doi = 10.1016/j.molcel.2010.07.029 | doi-access = free }}</ref> As a result of its antiporter function, ANT2 maintains mitochondrial membrane potential by regulating ADP/ATP ratios in oxidative phosphorylation. ANT2 facilitates uncoupling of the mitochondrial membrane when acylated by SIRT4.<ref name = "pmid20950584"/><ref name = "pmid24296486"/> Though uncoupling the membrane potential typically leads to apoptosis, ANT2 was found to be antiapoptotic. As a result, it is postulated to mediate the TFIIH-dependent response to DNA damage as a component of the MMS19-XPD.<ref name=pmid20797633/> Alternatively, suppressing the expression of this gene has been shown to induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth.<ref name = "entrez"/><ref name = "pmid20950584"/>
Though ANT2 is highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed, its expression levels and, accordingly, biological function, may vary depending on tissue type.<ref name = "pmid24296486"/><ref name= "pmid23783460"/><ref name=pmid18267033/> It is specifically expressed in undifferentiated cells and renewable tissues while maintaining low expression levels in differentiated cells. Due to its expression profile, it has been used as a growth marker and targeted for studies in tumor cell growth.<ref name = "pmid20950584"/><ref name=pmid18267033/>
==Clinical Significance==
The SLC25A5 enzyme is an important constituent in apoptotic signaling and oxidative stress, most notably as part of the mitochondrial death pathway and cardiac myocyte apoptosis signaling.<ref name="pmid14744432">{{cite journal |vauthors = Danial NN, Korsmeyer SJ |title = Cell death: critical control points |journal = Cell |volume = 116 |issue = 2 |pages = 205–19 |year = 2004 |pmid = 14744432 |doi = 10.1016/s0092-8674(04)00046-7 |doi-access = free }}</ref> Programmed cell death is a distinct genetic and biochemical pathway essential to metazoans. An intact death pathway is required for successful embryonic development and the maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis. Apoptosis has proven to be tightly interwoven with other essential cell pathways. The identification of critical control points in the cell death pathway has yielded fundamental insights for basic biology, as well as provided rational targets for new therapeutics a normal embryologic processes, or during cell injury (such as ischemia-reperfusion injury during heart attacks and strokes) or during developments and processes in cancer, an apoptotic cell undergoes structural changes including cell shrinkage, plasma membrane blebbing, nuclear condensation, and fragmentation of the DNA and nucleus. This is followed by fragmentation into apoptotic bodies that are quickly removed by phagocytes, thereby preventing an inflammatory response.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Kerr JF, Wyllie AH, Currie AR | title = Apoptosis: a basic biological phenomenon with wide-ranging implications in tissue kinetics | journal = British Journal of Cancer | volume = 26 | issue = 4 | pages = 239–57 | date = Aug 1972 | pmid = 4561027 | doi=10.1038/bjc.1972.33 | pmc=2008650}}</ref> It is a mode of cell death defined by characteristic morphological, biochemical and molecular changes. It was first described as a "shrinkage necrosis", and then this term was replaced by apoptosis to emphasize its role opposite mitosis in tissue kinetics. In later stages of apoptosis the entire cell becomes fragmented, forming a number of plasma membrane-bounded apoptotic bodies which contain nuclear and or cytoplasmic elements. The ultrastructural appearance of necrosis is quite different, the main features being mitochondrial swelling, plasma membrane breakdown and cellular disintegration. Apoptosis occurs in many physiological and pathological processes. It plays an important role during embryonal development as programmed cell death and accompanies a variety of normal involutional processes in which it serves as a mechanism to remove "unwanted" cells.
The SLC25A5 gene is important for the coding of the most abundant mitochondrial protein Ancp which represents 10% of the proteins of the inner membrane of bovine heart mitochondria.<ref name="pmid23506884">{{cite journal |vauthors = Clémençon B, Babot M, Trézéguet V |title = The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (SLC25 family): pathological implications of its dysfunction |journal = Mol.

Their expression is tissue specific and highly regulated and adapted to particular cellular energetic demand. Indeed, human ANC expression patterns depend on the tissue and cell types, the developmental stage and the status of cell proliferation. Furthermore, expression of the genes is modulated by different transcriptional elements in the promoter regions. Therefore, Ancp emerges as a logical candidate to regulate the cellular dependence on oxidative energy metabolism.<ref name="pmid23506884"/>
Overexpression of ANT2 has been linked to tumor cell growth and attributed to its anti-apoptotic function. One study found that specific silencing of the ANT2 gene failed to induce apoptosis to tumor cells without a combining treatment with lonidamine, an anti-tumor drug, thus indicating that additional factors may be involved to mediate membrane permeability and programmed cell death.<ref name = "pmid20950584"/><ref name=pmid23431365/> According to a study by Oishi et al., knockdown of ANT2 upregulated DR5, resulting in Apo2L/TRAIL-induced apoptosis.<ref name=pmid23431365/> Moreover, studies by Ji-Young Jang et al. confirmed the effectiveness of silencing ANT2 in breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma using small hairpin RNAs (shRNA).<ref name=pmid18267033/><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Jang JY, Jeon YK, Lee CE, Kim CW | title = ANT2 suppression by shRNA may be able to exert anticancer effects in HCC further by restoring SOCS1 expression | journal = International Journal of Oncology | volume = 42 | issue = 2 | pages = 574–82 | date = Feb 2013 | pmid = 23242177 | doi = 10.3892/ijo.2012.1736 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Thus, ANT2 inhibitors could contribute to anticancer therapies.<ref name=pmid23431365/><ref name=pmid18267033/>
In the brain, ANT2 participates as part of the post-synaptic density (PSD) and, thus, has been associated with X-linked intellectual disability (XLID).<ref name= "pmid23783460"/>
