Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables neutral L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within amino acid transmembrane transport and neutral amino acid transport. Located in apical plasma membrane and brush border membrane. Is expressed in blastocyst; cumulus oophorus; early embryo; and metanephros. Used to study Hartnup disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hartnup disease. Orthologous to human SLC6A19 (solute carrier family 6 member 19). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased body weight and impaired amino acid absorption and excretion.
