| Primary Identifier | MGI:2685433 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 234788 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development; retinal pigment epithelium development; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in axon and cell cortex. Predicted to be active in membrane. Used to study foveal hypoplasia 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in foveal hypoplasia 2. Orthologous to human SLC38A8 (solute carrier family 38 member 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced susceptibility to FMDV or EV71-infection with reduced aspartate response, viral titers, and mortality. [provided by MGI curators] |
