Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 20521 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables urate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in urate transport. Located in brush border membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; male reproductive gland or organ; metanephros; and retina layer. Orthologous to human SLC22A12 (solute carrier family 22 member 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased urinary urate levels and altered urine and plasma metabolite composition. [provided by MGI curators] |
