Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 11989 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables L-arginine transmembrane transporter activity and L-lysine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in L-lysine transmembrane transport. Acts upstream of or within L-arginine transmembrane transport. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-cell stage embryo; brain; gut; hindlimb phalanx; and urinary system. Orthologous to human SLC7A3 (solute carrier family 7 member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal and malignant hematopoiesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
