    Summary
    Enables sodium:phosphate symporter activity. Involved in positive regulation of bone mineralization. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane and brush border 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
