| 1618141 | Slc38a8 | solute carrier family 38, member 8 | Predicted to enable L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including aspartate metabolic process; nervous system development; and retinal pigment epithelium development. Predicted to be located in axon and cell cortex. Predicted to be active in membrane. Used to study foveal hypoplasia 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in foveal hypoplasia 2. Orthologous to human SLC38A8 (solute carrier family 38 member 8).

| 2290191 | SLC38A8 | solute carrier family 38 member 8 | This gene encodes a putative sodium-dependent amino-acid/proton antiporter. The protein has eleven transmembrane domains, an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminal tail. The protein is a member of the SLC38 sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter family of proteins. Mutations in this gene result in foveal hypoplasia with or without optic nerve misrouting and/or anterior segment dysgenesis.
