Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable proton transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to contribute to proton-transporting ATP synthase activity, rotational mechanism. Predicted to be involved in proton motive force-driven mitochondrial ATP synthesis. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in heart; liver; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple sclerosis and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human MT-ATP8 (mitochondrially encoded ATP synthase membrane subunit 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice carrying homoplastic mtDNAs with a single point mutation in this gene exhibit increased anxiety-like behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
