Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable potassium channel regulator activity; solute:sodium symporter activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in regulation of transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including inositol metabolic process; myo-inositol transport; and positive regulation of reactive oxygen species biosynthetic process. Located in apical plasma membrane and basolateral plasma membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC5A3 (solute carrier family 5 member 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in lethality shortly after birth due to respiratory failure and abnormal development of peripheral nerves. [provided by MGI curators] |
