Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including active borate transmembrane transporter activity; monoatomic cation channel activity; and water transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in fluid transport; monoatomic ion homeostasis; and regulation of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in metanephros and vomeronasal organ. Used to study congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy of cornea. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy; congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy of cornea; and corneal dystrophy-perceptive deafness syndrome. Orthologous to human SLC4A11 (solute carrier family 4 member 11).
