About Slc6a5

Chromosome 7: 49,559,894-49,613,604 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001000.3

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 210 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 34 phenotypes. Biased expression in cerebellum adult (RPKM 13.1), CNS E14 (RPKM 1.8) and 2 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable glycine:sodium symporter activity. Involved in neurotransmitter reuptake. Is active in glycinergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; central nervous system; esophagus; lens; and male reproductive gland or organ. Used to study hyperekplexia 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 3. Orthologous to human SLC6A5 (solute carrier family 6 member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
