Anti-NTT4 / SLC6A17

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SLC6 family of transporters, which are responsible for the presynaptic uptake of most neurotransmitters. The encoded vesicular transporter is selective for proline, glycine, leucine and alanine. In mouse, the strongest expression of this gene was in cortical and hippocampal tissues where expression increased during embryonic brain development and peaked postnatally. Defects in this gene cause a form of autosomal recessive intellectual disability. 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]
