description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable bile acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in bone development and heparin biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including Meckel's cartilage; limb segment; skeleton; tooth; and trabecular myocardium. Orthologous to human SLC10A7 (solute carrier family 10 member 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit postnatal growth retardation and skeletal dysplasia with craniofacial anomalies, shortened long bones, brachypodia, growth plate disorganization, and tooth enamel defects.
