Mitochondrial inner membrane transporter; 2-oxodicarboxylate transporter, exports 2-oxoadipate and 2-oxoglutarate from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol for lysine and glutamate biosynthesis and lysine catabolism; suppresses, in multicopy, an fmc1 null mutation; ODC1 has a paralog, ODC2, that arose from the whole genome duplication
