About SLC6A9

Cytogenetic location: 1p34.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:43,996,483-44,031,462 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues, 19 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Broad expression in skin (RPKM 13.4), adrenal (RPKM 9.7) and 18 other tissues.

Summary

The amino acid glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The protein encoded by this gene is one of two transporters that stop glycine signaling by removing it from the synaptic cleft. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]
