Citrin also known as solute carrier family 25, member 13 (citrin) or SLC25A13 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC25A13 gene.[1]

Citrin is associated with type II citrullinemia[2][3][4] and neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD).

The term Citrin when referring to Vitamin-P was the most active Bio-flavonoid in lemons, it was found to be Eriodictyol (but a more active form constituent was found there decades later).
