Citrin is a mitochondrial aspartate-glutamate carrier predominantly expressed in the liver, heart, and kidney. It plays a role in various metabolic pathways, including aerobic glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the urea cycle, and protein and nucleotide syntheses. We found that human citrin deficiency causes adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) and neonatal cholestatic hepatitis (NICCD). Based on the current functions of citrin in the metabolism, we describe the pathophysiology and treatments of citrin deficiency.
