Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 20494 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable bile acid:sodium symporter activity. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in apical plasma membrane and microvillus. Is expressed in Peyer's patch; male reproductive gland or organ; metanephros; and small intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intestinal disease. Orthologous to human SLC10A2 (solute carrier family 10 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene are essentially indistinguishable from wild-type in terms of survival, gross appearance and behavior. However, they do have defects in lipid absorption from the intestine. [provided by MGI curators] |
