Primary Identifier | MGI:2443672 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 171286 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable potassium:chloride symporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chloride ion homeostasis; monoatomic ion transmembrane transport; and potassium ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in lateral hypothalamic area and metanephros. Orthologous to human SLC12A8 (solute carrier family 12 member 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit some prenatal lethality and reduced NAD+ levels in the jejunum and ileum. [provided by MGI curators] |
