Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 69029 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to be involved in calcium import into the mitochondrion and mitochondrial calcium ion homeostasis. Predicted to act upstream of or within calcium ion transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in nervous system; neural retina; orbito-sphenoid; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human SMDT1 (single-pass membrane protein with aspartate rich tail 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit background sensitive preweaning lethality and impaired mitochondrial calcium uptake. [provided by MGI curators] |
