Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 74338 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables neutral L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within neutral amino acid transport. Located in apical plasma membrane and brush border membrane. Is expressed in blastocyst; cumulus oophorus; early embryo; and metanephros. Used to study Hartnup disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hartnup disease. Orthologous to human SLC6A19 (solute carrier family 6 member 19). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased body weight and impaired amino acid absorption and excretion. [provided by MGI curators] |
