Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables L-phenylalanine transmembrane transporter activity; L-tryptophan transmembrane transporter activity; and L-tyrosine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in aromatic amino acid transport. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on thyroid hormone generation and thyroid-stimulating hormone secretion. Acts upstream of or within thyroid hormone transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cochlea; humerus; liver; and metanephros. Orthologous to human SLC16A10 (solute carrier family 16 member 10). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced null allele exhibit altered amino acid homeostasis. [provided by MGI curators] |
