Primary Identifier | MGI:1351654 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 108052 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables urea transmembrane transporter activity and water transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within establishment of localization in cell; urea transport; and water transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; musculature; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC14A1 (solute carrier family 14 member 1 (Kidd blood group)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display a grossly normal phenotype although they have an inability to concentrate urea in urine. [provided by MGI curators] |
