Summary
Predicted to enable L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in amino acid transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within nervous system development; retinal pigment epithelium development; and visual perception. Predicted to be active in membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in foveal hypoplasia 2. Orthologous to human SLC38A8 (solute carrier family 38 member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
