Primary Identifier | MGI:2660847 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 330064 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables pantothenate transmembrane transporter activity; solute:sodium symporter activity; and sulfur compound transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in biotin metabolic process and pantothenate transmembrane transport. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-cell stage embryo; choroid plexus; pericardium; pituitary gland; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human SLC5A6 (solute carrier family 5 member 6). PHENOTYPE: Temporally restricted knockout in intestinal epithelium leads to gut microbiota-dependent severe gut inflammation, colon shortening, weight loss and premature death.
