description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and ATPase-coupled transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in cell volume homeostasis and mitochondrial potassium ion transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Part of mitochondrial ATP-gated potassium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; respiratory system; retina; and urinary system. Orthologous to human ABCB8 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 8). PHENOTYPE: Inducible cardiac specific deletion results in mild cardiomyopathy, mitochondrial defects and elevated heart mitochondrial iron levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
