| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable L-kynurenine transmembrane transporter activity and cystine:glutamate antiporter activity. Involved in L-cystine transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including oligopeptide transmembrane transport; regulation of amino acid metabolic process; and regulation of protein localization. Located in apical part of cell; astrocyte projection; and brush border membrane. Is expressed in brain; eye; olfactory epithelium; and spinal cord meninges. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome and platelet storage pool deficiency. Orthologous to human SLC7A11 (solute carrier family 7 member 11). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice show a reduction in yellow pigment resulting in dilution of agouti; only pinna hairs are affected in nonagouti mice. Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit decreased survival of LPS-induced macrophages and increased incidence of chemically-induced tumors. [provided by MGI curators] |
