Enables riboflavin transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in embryo development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 1; Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 2; and Fazio-Londe disease. Is an ortholog of human SLC52A2 (solute carrier family 52 member 2) and SLC52A3 (solute carrier family 52 member 3).
Enables riboflavin transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 1; Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 2; and Fazio-Londe disease. Is an ortholog of human SLC52A1 (solute carrier family 52 member 1); SLC52A2 (solute carrier family 52 member 2); and SLC52A3 (solute carrier family 52 member 3).
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and ribosome binding activity. Predicted to contribute to translation initiation factor activity. Involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including embryonic cell and germ line. Is an ortholog of human EIF3K (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit K).
PHENOTYPE: Mice in which the gene is deleted in fat tissue, show impaired glucose tolerance, impaired norepinephrine-induced brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, increased weight gain at thermoneutral temperature and decreased brown adipose tissue glucose uptake [provided by MGI curators]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in K cell; K' cell; mc1; mc2; and seam cell.
Predicted to enable hormone activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; energy homeostasis; and positive regulation of brown fat cell differentiation. Located in extracellular exosome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
This gene encodes a protein containing multiple transmembrane helices. It is a selective surface protein marker of brite/beige adipocytes, which may coexist with classical brown adipocytes in brown adipose tissue. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
