Anti-SLC6A6

This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is a member of a family of sodium and chloride-ion dependent transporters. The encoded protein transports taurine and beta-alanine. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 21. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Protein function: Mediates sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of taurine (PubMed:8382624, PubMed:8010975, PubMed:8654117, PubMed:31345061, PubMed:31903486). Mediates transport of beta-alanine (PubMed:8010975). Can also mediate transport of hypotaurine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). [The UniProt Consortium]
