Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables aminophospholipid flippase activity and cardiolipin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including aminophospholipid transport; bile acid and bile salt transport; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within bile acid metabolic process. Located in plasma membrane and stereocilium. Is expressed in adrenal gland; alimentary system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis 1; intrahepatic cholestasis; intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy 1; and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 1. Orthologous to human ATP8B1 (ATPase phospholipid transporting 8B1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice display abnormal bile salt homeostasis, normal bile secretion, and an impaired ability to handle increased bile salt loading resulting in liver damage and weight loss on a bile salt supplemented diet.
