Primary Identifier | MGI:1929519 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 57274 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable monocarboxylic acid transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in lactate transmembrane transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC16A8 (solute carrier family 16 member 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced visual function, putatively due to changes in the ionic composition of the outer retina. [provided by MGI curators] |
