Glutamate/malate translocator involved with DIT1 in primary ammonia assimilation and in the re-assimilation of ammonia generated by the photorespiratory pathway. Exports the end product of ammonia assimilation, glutamate, from plastids to the cytosol. The precursor for ammonia assimilation, 2-oxoglutarate, is imported from the cytosol by DIT1. Expressed in leaves. Belongs to the SLC13A/DASS transporter (TC 2.A.47) family. DIT1 subfamily.
