Summary: Predicted to enable choline transmembrane transporter activity and thiamine pyrophosphate transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including acetylcholine biosynthetic process; choline transport; and otolith formation. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 72. Orthologous to human SLC44A4 (solute carrier family 44 member 4).

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.
