Primary Identifier | MGI:2443672 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 171286 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable potassium:chloride symporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chloride ion homeostasis; monoatomic ion transmembrane transport; and potassium ion homeostasis. Predicted to act upstream of or within potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in lateral hypothalamic area and metanephros. Orthologous to human SLC12A8 (solute carrier family 12 member 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit some prenatal lethality and reduced NAD+ levels in the jejunum and ileum.
