Primary Identifier | MGI:1289288 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 52710 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables riboflavin transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in flavin adenine dinucleotide biosynthetic process and riboflavin metabolic process. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 2 and riboflavin deficiency. Orthologous to several human genes including SLC52A2 (solute carrier family 52 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele die prior to E10.5. [provided by MGI curators] |
