Primary Identifier | MGI:1336187 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 19879 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables antiporter activity and organic anion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in glutathione transport; prostaglandin transport; and quaternary ammonium group transport. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane and basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; spleen; and thyroid gland. Orthologous to human SLC22A8 (solute carrier family 22 member 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased urinary urate levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
