Primary Identifier | MGI:1858261 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 53896 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables neutral L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in negative regulation of brown fat cell differentiation; neutral amino acid transport; and positive regulation of glycinergic synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within D-alanine transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; embryo mesenchyme; naris; and spinal cord ventricular layer. Orthologous to human SLC7A10 (solute carrier family 7 member 10). PHENOTYPE: A targeted mutation of this gene results in mice that develop tremors, ataxia and seizures. [provided by MGI curators] |
