About Slc6a5

Primary_assembly 1: 99,645,389-99,697,010 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026974.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 210 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 7 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward (RPKM 649.2).

Summary

Enables glycine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in glycine transport and neurotransmitter uptake. Located in dense core granule and endosome. Is active in glycinergic synapse. Is integral component of presynaptic membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 3. Orthologous to human SLC6A5 (solute carrier family 6 member 5).
