Primary Identifier | MGI:1345278 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 13340 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity; purine nucleoside transmembrane transporter activity; and uridine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in neurotransmitter uptake and nucleoside transport. Acts upstream of or within nucleoside transport. Is active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC29A2 (solute carrier family 29 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit normal adenosine uptake in erythrocytes and protection from acute lung injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
