| Primary Identifier | MGI:1919107 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 228993 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables purine nucleotide uniporter activity. Involved in purine nucleotide import into lysosome. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on ATP export. Acts upstream of or within lysosomal protein catabolic process. Located in chromaffin granule membrane. Is active in lysosomal membrane. Is expressed in esophagus; male reproductive gland or organ; and nasal cavity epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in porokeratosis. Orthologous to human SLC17A9 (solute carrier family 17 member 9). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout affects the neuroendocrine system, resulting in hypoglycemia, increased glucose tolerance and increased insulin sensitivity. [provided by MGI curators] |
