About Slc6a9

Primary_assembly 5: 131,374,542-131,408,728 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026978.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 7 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 173.1), Liver (RPKM 15.1) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

Enables glycine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in glycine import across plasma membrane. Located in dense core granule; endosome; and plasma membrane. Is active in hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and postsynaptic density. Is integral component of postsynaptic membrane; integral component of presynaptic membrane; and integral component of synaptic vesicle membrane. Orthologous to human SLC6A9 (solute carrier family 6 member 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
