Primary Identifier | MGI:105075 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 226999 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables sodium:proton antiporter activity. Involved in epithelial cell differentiation and regulation of intracellular pH. Acts upstream of or within protein localization; regulation of pH; and sodium ion transport. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in genitourinary system and skeleton. Orthologous to human SLC9A2 (solute carrier family 9 member A2). PHENOTYPE: Gastric acid secretion is impaired in homozygous mutant mice. The gastric mucosa becomes inflamed and exhibits an altered cellular composition. Mutant mice do not breed well.
