Primary Identifier | MGI:1918529 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 71279 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables nucleoside transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in adenosine transport and nucleoside transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in late endosome membrane and lysosomal membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in histiocytosis-lymphadenopathy plus syndrome. Orthologous to human SLC29A3 (solute carrier family 29 member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, histiocytic sarcoma, and premature death associated with extramedullary hematopoiesis, increased macrophage proliferation and apoptosis and abnormal lysosome function.
