Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within L-amino acid transport. Located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); contact dermatitis (multiple); leukemia (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human NAT1 (N-acetyltransferase 1) and NAT2 (N-acetyltransferase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation are viable and fertile with no gross abnormalities.
