Primary Identifier | MGI:1913342 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 66092 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium channel activity and calcium:proton antiporter activity. Involved in inner mitochondrial membrane organization and mitochondrial potassium ion transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GHITM (growth hormone inducible transmembrane protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an amino acid substitution exhibit partial lethality throughout fetal growth and development, decreased grip strength, and impaired mitochondria function in skeletal muscle and hepatocytes.
