The SLC6 family of proteins, which includes SLC6A17, acts as specific transporters for neurotransmitters, amino acids, and osmolytes like betaine, taurine, and creatine. SLC6 proteins are sodium cotransporters that derive the energy for solute transport from the electrochemical gradient for sodium ions (Hoglund et al., 2005 [PubMed 16125675]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008], Protein function: Synaptic vesicle transporter with apparent selectivity for neutral amino acids. The transport is sodium-coupled but chloride- independent, likely driven by the proton electrochemical gradient generated by vacuolar H(+)-ATPase in an overall electrogenic mechanism. May contribute to the synaptic uptake of neurotransmitter precursors in a process coupled in part to vesicle exocytosis. [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000.
