| Primary Identifier | MGI:1920211 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 72961 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesicle; phosphate ion homeostasis; and phosphate ion transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; long-term memory; and synaptic vesicle lumen acidification. Located in several cellular components, including cerebellar mossy fiber; presynaptic active zone; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in brain; retina layer; and spinal cord dorsal horn. Orthologous to human SLC17A7 (solute carrier family 17 member 7). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice are small and fail to thrive by 3-4 weeks of age. Abnormal excitatory post synaptic potential and currents. [provided by MGI curators] |
