Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 68682 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable choline transmembrane transporter activity and ethanolamine transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in choline transport; ethanolamine transport; and transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial outer membrane and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including inner ear. Orthologous to human SLC44A2 (solute carrier family 44 member 2 (CTL2 blood group)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit cochlear hair cell loss, spiral ganglion degeneration, and progressive sensorineural hearing loss. [provided by MGI curators] |
