Summary
Predicted to enable inorganic phosphate transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphate ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphate ion transport; sodium ion transport; and viral process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be integral component of plasma 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. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal ganglia calcification. Orthologous to human SLC20A2 (solute carrier family 20 member 2).

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.
