| Primary Identifier | MGI:2685433 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 234788 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within retina development in camera-type eye and visual perception. Predicted to be located in cell projection and cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in foveal hypoplasia 2. Orthologous to human SLC38A8 (solute carrier family 38 member 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced susceptibility to FMDV or EV71-infection with reduced aspartate response, viral titers, and mortality. [provided by MGI curators] |
