About Slc6a12

Summary

Predicted to enable gamma-aminobutyric acid:sodium symporter activity. Involved in cellular hyperosmotic response; cellular water homeostasis; and response to organic substance. Is integral component of membrane. Orthologous to human SLC6A12 (solute carrier family 6 member 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
