Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 80721 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables thiamine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in thiamine diphosphate biosynthetic process and thiamine transmembrane transport. Is active in plasma membrane. Used to study biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease. Orthologous to human SLC19A3 (solute carrier family 19 member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit premature death within a year of age, impaired thiamin uptake, lethargy, cachexia, injured liver parenchyma, hepatic necrosis, liver and kidney inflammmation, and nephrosclerosis.
