About SLC6A17

Cytogenetic location: 1p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:110,150,494-110,202,202 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 269 orthologues, 19 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 23.3), adrenal (RPKM 2.5) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
