About SLC44A4

Cytogenetic location: 6p21.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:31,863,192-31,878,997 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 196 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in colon (RPKM 98.7), stomach (RPKM 72.4) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene may be a sodium-dependent transmembrane transport protein involved in the uptake of choline by cholinergic neurons. Defects in this gene can cause sialidosis, a lysosomal storage disease. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
