Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable copper ion transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within intracellular copper ion homeostasis and regulation of copper ion transmembrane transport. Located in late endosome; membrane; and recycling endosome. Is expressed in brain; retina nuclear layer; and urinary system. Orthologous to human SLC31A2 (solute carrier family 31 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display copper accumulation in the brain, kidney, spleen, muscle and testes but not in the liver. [provided by MGI curators] |
