Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transmembrane transport. Located in vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; limb; musculoskeletal system; perichondrium; and somite. Used to study autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2L and gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Miyoshi muscular dystrophy 3; autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2L; gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia; and isolated elevated serum creatine phosphokinase levels. Orthologous to human ANO5 (anoctamin 5).
