Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 20531 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables sodium:phosphate symporter activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and phosphate ion transport. Located in apical plasma membrane and brush border. Is expressed in several structures, including egg cylinder; genitourinary system; small intestine; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis. Orthologous to human SLC34A2 (solute carrier family 34 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality, embryonic growth arrest, failure of embryo turning and somitogenesis, impaired placental development and impaired yolk sac vascular remodeling.
