Summary: Enables sodium:phosphate symporter activity. Involved in positive regulation of bone mineralization. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane and brush border membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver; male reproductive gland or organ; spleen; and yolk sac. Used to study basal ganglia calcification.

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.
