Primary Identifier | MGI:3037150 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 237831 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables citrate transmembrane transporter activity; organic acid:sodium symporter activity; and succinate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in carboxylic acid transport and cellular response to lithium ion. Acts upstream of or within tricarboxylic acid transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; chondrocranium; limb; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 25. Orthologous to human SLC13A5 (solute carrier family 13 member 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display resistance to diet and age induced obesity, increased energy expenditure, improved glucose tolerance, and increased hepatic lipid oxidation. Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit reduced body weight. [provided by MGI curators] |
