Primary Identifier | MGI:2140077 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 97086 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; lithium:proton antiporter activity; and sodium:proton antiporter activity. Involved in several processes, including flagellated sperm motility; regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus; and sodium ion homeostasis. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of osteoclast development. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; cytoplasmic vesicle; and sperm principal piece. Is expressed in alimentary system; brain; femur; male reproductive gland or organ; and mesenteric adipose tissue. Orthologous to human SLC9B2 (solute carrier family 9 member B2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele are viable and overtly normal, with no detectable abnormalities in osteoclast differentiation and function. [provided by MGI curators] |
