Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 20518 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including pyrimidine nucleoside transmembrane transporter activity; toxin transmembrane transporter activity; and xenobiotic transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in cellular detoxification and xenobiotic transport. Acts upstream of or within monoatomic cation transport. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including metanephros; nasal cavity mucosa; nervous system; placenta; and ureter. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute kidney failure. Orthologous to human SLC22A2 (solute carrier family 22 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knockout allele are viable and fertile and display no obvious phenotypic abnormalities. No significant defects in the renal secretion of a model organic cation are observed. [provided by MGI curators] |
